Eddy Waller(1889-1977)
- Actor
Eddy Waller worked in vaudeville and the theater before he entered
movies in 1936. Within a few years he was being cast in character
parts. In the 1940s he would be a mainstay in the westerns of Republic
Pictures and would work with just about every cowboy actor from Tim Holt
to Rocky Lane. With Lane, Eddy's billing would be as high as second, as he
played grizzly old prospector Nugget Clark, adding the comic relief to
a picture with such pearls as "He is as square as the day is long". The
"B" western finally died out in the 1950s, and so did Eddy's
career.
