Matt McHugh
Biography
Matt McHugh was an American actor who played small parts in over 200 movies between 1931 and 1955. Born in Connellsville, he came from a theatrical family: his parents were in charge of a stock theater company, and he was on stage as a young child, performing an act with his brother Frank and sister Kitty by the time he was fourteen. His Broadway debut came in 1929 in Elmer Rice's Street Scene, and he also appeared in Swing Your Lady in 1936. Despite his background, he usually used a Brooklyn accent in his roles and was often cast as characters from Brooklyn. In Star Spangled Rhythm (1941), his one scene was a long monologue in the climactic Old Glory sequence, playing a character who embodied the spirit of Brooklyn.
