Biography

Dan Seymour was an American character actor, a Chicago native who often played villains in Warner Bros. pictures. He attended Senn High School and earned a fine arts degree from the University of Chicago. His early work included burlesque performances as a singer and dancer, plus nighttime emcee jobs in New York clubs. He then settled in Hollywood, where his big frame helped him land roles as shady characters. In To Have and Have Not (1944) he was Vichy French Captain Renard, the opponent of Humphrey Bogart's character. He faced Bogart again in Key Largo (1948), playing one of Johnny Rocco's henchmen, and acted alongside Raymond Burr and Errol Flynn in Mara Maru (1952). Television brought him seven Perry Mason episodes, four appearances on The Untouchables and three for Adventures of Superman, along with radio work on Mollé Mystery Theatre. He died in 1993.
