This wonderful character actor’s name is probably unfamiliar to most people, but those of us above a certain age will recognize his photo very well indeed. I probably remember him best in his recurring role as the evil banker in The Beverly Hillbillies, but he’s been in so much other stuff that I know. I can visualize him now as the rent collector in It’s a Wonderful Life, warning Mr. Potter that “some day, this bright young man will be asking George Bailey for a job.” Just LOOK at his credits on the link above. He really had a full life.
RIP, Charles.
