Edward Brophy
Edward S. Brophy (February 27, 1895 – May 27, 1960) was an American character actor, voice artist, and comedian. Small of build, balding, and raucous-voiced, he was known for portraying dumb cops and gangsters, both serious and comic. He was best known for his roles in the Falcon film series, based on suave detective of the same name.
==Career==
Edward Santree Brophy was born in New York City, American. His screen debut was in ''Yes or No'' (1920).〔Katz, Ephraim (1979). ''The Film Encyclopedia: The Most Comprehensive Encyclopedia of World Cinema in a Single Volume''. Perigee Books. ISBN 0-399-50601-2. P.171.〕
In 1928, with only a few minor film roles to his credit, Brophy was working as a junior production executive for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer when he was chosen to appear with Buster Keaton in one sequence of Keaton's film ''The Cameraman''. As two clients in a bath-house, Brophy and Keaton attempt to undress and put on bathing suits while sharing a single tiny changing room. Each time Keaton attempts to hang his clothes on one hook, Brophy removes the clothes and hands them back to Keaton and gestures to the other hook. He manhandles the smaller, more slender Keaton, at one point picking him up by the feet and dumping him out of his trousers. Appearing only in this one brief scene, Brophy attracted enough attention to receive more and better roles. Though he did appear in a few theatre roles, most of his long and prolific career was in film and was spent at the studio's of MGM.
He played the main character's loyal manager in ''The Champ'' (1931), a Rollo Brother circus proprietor in the movie ''Freaks'' (1932), Joe Morelli from ''The Thin Man'' (1934) and Nick Charles' friend Brogan from ''The Thin Man Goes Home'' (1944). Brophy was most famous as the voice behind Timothy the mouse in ''Dumbo'', even though he was uncredited for this role. He also made several appearances in the films of director John Ford.
