Mystery actor

[Click for a larger view.]

This guy’s in trouble. Just look at the beads of sweat on his forehead and temples. Can anyone help him out by at least letting him know the name of the actor playing his part?

Leave your best guess in the comments. I’ll drop a hint if one’s needed.

That was fast. The answer’s now in the comments.

At first I was going to say Gordon Jump but it’s clearly Don DeFore.

Well played. Yes, that’s Don Defore, pre-Hazel, as the gullible businessman Arthur Winant, in Dark City (dir. William Dieterle, 1950). He’s caught in a card game that he’s doomed to lose.

Thanks, Joe. I couldn't remember his last name.

Many many years ago I ran into Don’s son in an AOL chat room. Very pleasant guy. He seems genuinely surprised someone knew who his father was and recognized his name.

If you run into his son again, joecab, tell him we recognize and remember DDF. : )
