And what great faces these folks had! Thanks for great gallery!

Shouldn’t he be serving beer?

Love Irving Bacon. I am ashamed to admit that in my youth I used to sometimes (sometimes, mind you) confuse him with Olin Howland. Thankfully, I am past that phase now.

TCM should do August spotlights on the second tier stars. The films are great and for the most part, already being shown. TCM fans would get a kick out of learning more about these supporting actors.
