Frank Hagney

Biography

Frank Hagney was an Australian actor who appeared in more than 350 Hollywood movies, most of them small or uncredited parts, often as officers or henchmen. Born in Sydney, he competed professionally in cycling, boxing and rowing before he turned to films. He was perhaps best known as the silent valet who pushed Mr. Potter's wheelchair in It's a Wonderful Life. Among his silent pictures were The Battler and The Two-Gun Man, and his sound westerns included Fighting Caravans (1931), The Squaw Man and The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap. He also guest starred on more than 70 television programs, among them The Lone Ranger, Perry Mason and Daniel Boone, and in 1956 he played an uncredited townsman in an episode of the western Cheyenne. McLintock! and Come Blow Your Horn, both released in 1963, were his final two films.
