Cy Kendall

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. On old-time radio, Kendall portrayed Judge Carter in the drama The Remarkable Miss Tuttle. On early television, he played detective Jonas Flint on the game show Armchair Detective. Kendall was born in St. Louis, Missouri and died in Woodland Hills, California.
