Rodd Redwing

Biography

Rodd Redwing was an American stunt performer, actor and trickshooter who worked largely in Westerns and ranked among Hollywood's top instructors in gun, knife, tomahawk and whip handling during the Golden Age. Born in 1904, his earliest acting work included the musical Malinda, staged in Greenwich Village in 1929, and he later claimed to have begun with The Squaw Man, a 1931 Western by Cecil B. DeMille, though no cast list shows him in it. He coached gun handling for actors such as Alan Ladd, Burt Lancaster, Glenn Ford, Charlton Heston and Dean Martin, and he performed Alan Ladd's fancy gunspinning for the showdown in Shane. From 1951 to 1967 he made more than a dozen television appearances, among them the quiz show What's My Line?, and played Mr. Brother in eight episodes of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. He died in 1971.
