EDWARD ARNOLD

Edward Arnold was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. Despite his large girth, he became a very successful character actor (and sometimes leading actor) in lots of 1930s and 1940s movies, lots of which were with Columbia Pictures, including several Frank Capra movies such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe, and You Can't Take it With You. He played Rex Stout's literary detective Nero Wolfe in a 1936 movie, and he was very memorable in 1935's Crime and Punishment, and he added much to every movie he was in! Arnold passed away in 1956 at the age of 66.
