Donald MacBride (June 23, 1893 – June 21, 1957) was an American character actor on stage, in films, and on TV who launched his career as a teenage singer (making several recordings in 1907) in vaudeville and went on to be an actor on Broadway. He appeared in nearly 140 films between 1914 and 1955. His year of birth is given variously as 1889 or 1893 in the standard reference books, but the latter seems to be the correct one as his New York Times obituary records his age as 63. MacBride was best known for his portrayal of detectives in crime films. One such role was as Sgt. Roberts in the 1941 comedy ''Topper Returns'', starring Roland Young. He also did several slapstick roles in films with comedians such as the Marx Brothers.〔(''International Movie Database'' Biography, Gary Brumburgh )〕 He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and died in Los Angeles, California. ==Partial filmography== * ''Misleading Lady'' (1932) * ''Buzzin' Around'' (1933) (uncredited) * ''The Chemist'' (1936) (short) * ''Room Service'' (1938) * ''The Great Man Votes'' (1939) * ''The Flying Irishman'' (1939) * ''The Girl from Mexico'' (1939) * ''The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle'' (1939) * ''Charlie Chan at Treasure Island'' (1939) * ''The Amazing Mr. Williams'' (1939) * ''Curtain Call'' (1940) * ''The Saint's Double Trouble'' (1940) * ''Murder Over New York'' (1940) * ''Northwest Passage'' (1940) * ''My Favorite Wife'' (1940) * ''High Sierra'' (1941) * ''Topper Returns'' (1941) * ''Love Crazy'' (1941) * ''Here Comes Mr. Jordan'' (1941) * ''You'll Never Get Rich'' (1941) * ''Louisiana Purchase'' (1941) * ''The Glass Key'' (1942) * ''Two Yanks in Trinidad'' (1942) * ''My Sister Eileen'' (1942) * ''A Night to Remember'' (1942) * ''They Got Me Covered'' (1943) * ''Best Foot Forward'' (1943) * ''The Thin Man Goes Home'' (1944) * ''The Doughgirls'' (1944) * ''Abbott and Costello in Hollywood'' (1945) * ''Out of This World (1945) * ''The Killers'' (1946) * ''The Egg and I'' (1947) * ''Jinx Money'' (1948) * ''The Story of Seabiscuit'' (1949) * ''Bowery Battalion'' (1951) * ''Cuban Fireball'' (1951) * ''The Seven Year Itch'' (1955) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald MacBride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
