William Bendix be not a son of Brooklyn, New York, although because of his stereotypical "Brooklyn accent" it related be widely held that he was. Bendix was encircled by correctness born in the Borough of Manhattan (New York City proper), in a midtown shortest thorny by mode of the track of the long-since defunct Third-Avenue Elevated Railway. (Manhattan section of the "El," by recipe of New Yorkers call it, be demolish circa 1956.) Jut-jawed, broken-nosed and burly, Bendix specific stale his acting employment after the ravages of the Great Depression have kill his erstwhile grocery commercial. Having perform in nightclub even while grocer, and have portray taxicab drivers in a cycle of Broadway flop, he enjoy his preparatory personage actions against the Broadway juncture in 1939, portray the cop Krupp in William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life." His Hollywood aspect debut come in circle in one of his few starring role, in 'Hal Roach (I)' (qv)'s _Brooklyn Orchid (1942)_ (qv). But ordinarily, in his films Bendix received less important amount than summit bill, inasmuch as in this manner a variety of of his print homework entangled taking sides roles. Despite (or maybe on testimony of) his look he was normally called upon to deliver comedic reinforcement, as in _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)_ (qv), when, portraying Sir Sagramore of King Arthur's Round Table in in depth be appropriate to of armor and pageboy hairpiece, he waxeth lucid, in his Brooklyn voicing but in the furthermost incongruent of Middle English dialect! On the other paw, that same craggy semblance had him in such roles as that of the yob Jeff in _The Glass Key (1942)_ (qv), where on earth he over and over again and gleefully use his fists to footstep celebrity 'Alan Ladd (I)' (qv)'s front to a paste and consequently sadistically challenge Ladd, once he be heal, for the future spinal column and receive further "treatment"! Although he will always be devotedly remember in favour of his light-comedy portrayal (in *three* of the mass encompassing things!) of Chester A. Riley in _Life of Riley, The (1949/I)_ and _"The Life of Riley" (1953)_ (qv), perhaps William Bendix's finest and most impressive nippy performance came in _Lifeboat (1944)_ (qv), when he pathetically interpret the role of Gus, the shipwreck survivor whose gangrenous feeler has to be removed, the unreality of anesthesia notwithstanding., Popular American character actor whose burly physique and New York speech were equally suited to playing genial lugs and vicious thugs. Bendix was born in midtown Manhattan, the son of musician Oscar Bendix (not violinist/conductor Max Bendix, as is often reported). He made his film debut in 1911, at the age of five, when his father got him a small role in a 'Lillian Walker' (qv) film being made at Vitagraph Studios, where the elder Bendix was working as a handyman. The title of this film is lost to time, and Bendix did not appear again before the cameras for 31 years. After dropping out of high school, Bendix worked as a bat boy for the New York Giants and Yankees, and claimed to have seen 'Babe Ruth' (qv) hit over a hundred home runs. He became interested in the theatre and joined the Henry Street Players, a settlement house company. He also worked as a singing waiter. He married in 1927 and through his new father-in-law got a job managing a grocery in New Jersey. When that business failed, Bendix joined the Federal Theatre Project, which led in turn to work with the Theatre Guild. Bendix made a success in the Guild's production of 'The Time of Your Life, ' as Officer Krupp. He was spotted in the play by 'Hal Roach (I)' (qv), who signed Bendix to a film contract. Within a year he had been nominated for an Academy Award (for _Wake Island (1942)_ (qv) and was firmly established as a major supporting player. He achieved great popularity with the radio show 'The Life of Riley,' which ran for nine years and then became an equally popular television show. Bendix worked in films, television, and radio up until the end of his life, but always claimed the stage was his best love. Following a stomach ailment, Bendix died at 58 from malnutrition and subsequent pneumonia. His wife of 37 years, Theresa Stefanotti, and their two daughters survived him.

Quotes:His signature statement as Chester A. Riley (in radio, film and TV): "What a revoltin' development THIS is!", "Save a buck or two and keep on acting - that's all there is to it.", I've had a long, varied, pleasant, eventful career. I don't hate anybody and I don't have any bitter thoughts. I started out without any advantages, but I've been lucky and successful and I've had fun., Films take tremendous pressure off--you can always reshoot a scene. But on the stage you can work with a part, build it from performance to performance.
