IMDB
BIOGRAPHY: Unlike many actors, John Dehner's career didn't begin on the stage or on radio. He started out as an animator for Walt Disney Studios, then worked as a disc jockey and a professional pianist. He made his film debut in 1945, and has appeared in dozens of films. A tall and distinguished looking man with a rich voice and somewhat flamboyant demeanor, Dehner often was cast as an outlaw leader, crooked banker or saloon owner in westerns and adventure films, although he was occasionally cast against type in comedies, and played a crusading newspaper reporter in the TV series "The Roaring 20's" (1960).
TRIVIA:
- Portrayed Paladin on CBS Radio's "Have Gun, Will Travel" (1958-1960).
- His television appearances in a single year were sometimes just as frequent as his film appearances. In 1959 alone, he made a total of nine guest appearances in several television series being aired at the time.
- He once appeared in as many as seven films in one year (1956). Some of these roles were very small, but crucially important to the film (i.e. Mr. Bascombe in _Carousel (1956)_ (qv)).
