Cy Kendall
Best known for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, My Favorite Wife, Tall in the Saddle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cyrus Willard Kendall (March 10, 1898 – July 22, 1953) was an American film actor. He appeared in more than 140 films between 1935 and 1950. Kendall's heavy-set, square-jawed appearance and deep voice were perfect for wiseguy roles such as policemen and police chiefs, wardens, military officers, bartenders, reporters, and mobsters. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and died in Woodland Hills, California.
