Mystery actors

[Click for a larger view.]

The fellow on the far left is a real mystery. I have no idea who he is. But the other two should be familiar to anyone who’s spent a healthy (?) amount of time in front of a warm TV.

Thank goodness I can still screenshot movies on a Mac.

Leave your best guesses in the comments. I’ll add hints if they’re needed.

The name of the boy in the middle is now in the comments. A hint for the man on the right: he’s probably best known for a long-running role as a minister.

Billy Gray and Tim Conway?

Michael Leddy said...

That’s Billy Gray in the center. Not Tim Conway though.

The Crow said...

I don't know either of the adults, but the boy reminds me of the lead in the movie, "The Boy with Green Hair"; Dean Stockwell, if I remember correctly.

Michael Leddy said...

That was Dean Stockwell, but this boy is Billy Gray, best known as Bud Anderson from Father Knows Best.

That’s him, in Lust for Gold(dir. S. Sylvan Simon, 1949).

man on left "may be" George Morrell

He was in this movie as an uncredited townsperson. But if that is him, he’d be seventy-eight, or close to it.

Paul E. Burns? I tried using IMDb to nail it down.

Michael Leddy said...

Me too. : )

I think you may be right. The photo that appears next to his name on his IMDb page seems really misleading.

In these photos, from a 1948 movie, he looks a lot older. But the shape of the mouth fits. Maybe for Lust for Gold he had some color in his sideburns? And a hairpiece on his head?
