Biography

Paul Stanton was an American actor who built a long career out of character parts and bit roles, working mostly as a contract player at 20th Century-Fox. Born Paul George Stahl in Sterling, Illinois, he turned up in roughly 130 films released between 1918 and 1952, and he died in October 1955. Judges, attorneys, doctors, managers and officials were his stock in trade, since he specialized in authoritarian figures, and his parts nearly always supported the stars rather than carrying the picture. Though his appearances were often brief, studio work came his way for more than three decades, into the early 1950s, and most of his screen roles were supporting ones.
