Paul Bryar
Biography
Paul Bryar was an American actor. Born in Manhattan in 1910, he worked in film and television for close to fifty years. His screen career began with a part in the Harold Lloyd comedy Professor Beware, and he went on to appear in roughly 220 films between 1938 and 1983, usually in small roles. B-movies of the 1940s and 1950s such as Jungle Siren and The Bob Mathias Story gave him more substantial supporting parts. He worked three times for Alfred Hitchcock: Notorious (1946), The Wrong Man (1956), and Vertigo (1958), in which he played a police captain. Typecast often as a policeman, he also played bartenders, sheriffs, district attorneys, photographers, and guards. His films included The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). From the 1950s to the early 1980s he appeared in about 150 television shows and had a recurring role on The Long, Hot Summer.
