James Seay
James Seay was born on Sep 09, 1914 in USA. James Seay's big-screen debut came with Back Door to Heaven directed by William K. Howard in 1939, strarring Juror (uncredited). James Seay is known for The Double Life of Henry Phyfe directed by Arthur Lubin, Red Buttons stars as Henry Wadsworth Phyfe and Fred Clark as Chief Gerald B. Hannahan. The upcoming new movie James Seay plays is There Was a Crooked Man... which will be released on Sep 19, 1970.
Born in 1914, durable, dependable actor James Seay was initially designed for romantic leads after being signed by Paramount in 1940. Caught up in a number of uncredited roles, the actor seemed to fare better as a villain or stern, officious type. Although military service may have taken away any chance for outright stardom, he compensated in later years by focusing on minor character roles, finding steady employment in late '40s and '50s films as a voice of authority. He was the benign old folks home doctor who expounds on Kris Kringle's mental condition in Le Miracle sur la 34ème rue (1947), portrayed Col. George Washington during his early military career in La Hache de la vengeance (1951) and became a familiar figure in "B" sci-fi classics, notably Le Jour où la Terre s'arrêta... (1951), Le choc des mondes (1951), La Guerre des mondes (1953), Killers from Space (1954), Le Début de la fin (1957) and Le Fantastique Homme colosse (1957). Seay's career extended into TV, which included recurring roles on such western series as Fury (1955) (as a sheriff) and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955) (as a judge). In hundreds of small-screen parts, he also played a captain in Disney's "Swamp Fox" series in 1959. Not seen after the early 1970s, Seay died at age 78 in 1992.
