Harry A. Bailey(1879-1954)

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Between 1926 and 1947, Harry A. Bailey's plumpness earned this fine character actor dozens of bit parts as the fat man in office. Often a politician - most often a senator (it looks as though they ate too much at the time!) he was also regularly seen in court trial scenes (whether as a lawyer, a court clerk or a juror). He also embodied with ease your good-humored bald-headed neighbor or the the conductor of the train you travel in. Incidentally, Harry Bailey appeared in three masterpieces, Frank Capra's 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' (as a... senator it goes without saying!) and Orson Welles's 'Citizen Kane' and 'The Magnificent Ambersons'. But look closely if you do not mean to miss him!
