Harry C. Bradley

Biography

Harry C. Bradley, who was born Harry Charles Bradley Cockrill in San Francisco on April 15, 1869, was an American film actor. He was raised in San Francisco and built a stage career before he ever appeared before a movie camera, collecting about two decades of Broadway credits. The most notable of those was Father Whelan in the original production of Abie's Irish Rose by Anne Nichols, a part he played in all 2,327 performances. His film work came later, with more than 200 film appearances from 1930 to 1946. He died on October 18, 1947. His career therefore spanned stage and screen, with the Broadway period preceding his film years.
