Andrew Vabre Devine was a character actor who frequented those programs which piqued my childhood interests ...
Like Roy Rogers, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Batman, The Twilight Zone; along with more movie titles than I can name.
Many of those were far beyond my cultural comprehension at that early time in my cultural evolution.
Yes, his was a long diverse career in which he portrayed many roles and I was there to see many of those throughout that period when I didn't know much of anything else.
He was said to have "two voices" — one for the screen the other for personal interactions. I only heard one of those myself.
He was born October 7, 1905 and passed February 18, 1977 while I was attached to the Naval Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois.
