Morgan Conway

Morgan Conway was born on Mar 16, 1903 in USA. Morgan Conway's big-screen debut came with Sinners in Paradise directed by James Whale in 1938, strarring Harrison Brand. Morgan Conway is known for Florian directed by Edwin L. Marin, Robert Young stars as Anton Erban and Helen Gilbert as Duchess Diana. The upcoming new movie Morgan Conway plays is Dick Tracy vs. Cueball which will be released on Dec 18, 1946.

Square-jawed 'tough guy' actor Morgan Conway's chief claim to fame was being the screen's first feature film Dick Tracy (though Ralph Byrd, who bore a closer physical resemblance to Chester Gould's comic strip detective, had previously enacted the part in four 1930's Republic serials). Columbia University graduate Conway, incidentally a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild, started off in films as a small-part actor, playing just about anything from hoodlums to murder victims. His break came courtesy of a long-term contract with RKO (1939-47), which starred him as the nominal hero or romantic interest in a number of modestly-budgeted second features. His role as the stoic Dick Tracy, taking on protagonists with names like Splitface, Cueball, Vitamin Flintheart and Filthy Flora of the Dripping Dagger Inn, proved to be the high point of Conway's brief sojourn in Hollywood. Despite objections from the author, RKO reinstated Ralph Byrd for the next Tracy instalment. Conway's contract was not renewed and he left the industry forthwith to work in real estate on the East Coast.
