Rhys Williams
Rhys Williams was born on Dec 31, 1897 in UK. Rhys Williams's big-screen debut came with How Green Was My Valley directed by John Ford in 1941, strarring Dai Bando. Rhys Williams is known for Brigadoon directed by Fielder Cook, Robert Goulet stars as Tommy Albright and Peter Falk as Jeff Douglas. The upcoming new movie Rhys Williams plays is Skullduggery which will be released on Mar 06, 1970.
Moviegoers can be forgiven if they thought that stocky, jaunty Rhys Williams was a jovial Irishman, as he often played that type of character, but his role as a Welsh miner in John Ford's classic How Green Was My Valley (1941) (his film debut) was much closer to home for him, as he was born and raised in Wales. In fact, he served as a technical advisor and Welsh language consultant on the film. He began his career on the British stage, and traveled the country as a member of various Shakespearean stock companies, even joining the famed Globe Theater company for a spell. Once he began his career in Hollywood, though, he became one of the busiest supporting actors in the business. He appeared in everything from action pictures to mysteries to westerns to musicals. One of his few villainous roles was as a weaselly American reporter in Tokyo on the payroll of the Japanese government just prior to World War II in Blood on the Sun (1945). In addition to his prolific film work, he did much television over the years, appearing in everything from Maverick (1957) to Mission: Impossible (1966). He died in Santa Monica, California, in 1969, shortly before his last film, Skullduggery (1970), was released.
