Chub Character actors from the 1950s. Bern Hoffman. Bern Hoffman did few movies that he was credited in. The first 3 photos are from his first film, Nocturne (1946), a film noir, where he played the heavy. He played a wrestler, uncredited in The Naked City (1948). He sang the opening number in Om The Town (1949) and still received no credit. In 1956 he had a small uncredited role in Somebody Up There Likes Me. Also in 1956 he played Earthquake McGoon Lil Abner on Broadway. In 1959 he reprised the role in the film version. He mostly paid the bills playing roles in television programs like M Squad. 

Das etwas anstrengende, aber schön bunte Hinterwäldler-Musical über den großen, starken, attraktiven, doch heiratsunwilligen Li’l Abner (4. von links) feiert die vereinigten Staaten, den Ehrenkodex der Hügel und Jubilation T. Cornpole. Man kann hier mehr darüber lernen, wie die amerikanische Politik funktioniert, als in manchem Oliver-Stone-Film. (Zumindest als in dem letzten, den ich gesehen habe.)

Bonanza, The Saga of Muley Jones (1964).
