EPISODE 18 - “The Scene Stealers (Male)” - 01/015/2024 Films of Hollywood’s Golden Era are often brightened and made all the better by the fantastic character actors who show up playing fathers, grandfathers, bankers, farmers, chefs, clerks, bosses, and neighbors. The moment you hear the distinctive voice of WALTER BRENNAN, not only do you know it’s him, but you know the film will have at least one interesting element. Last week we paid tribute to the ladies, this week we are giving the wonderful male character actors their due. Join us as we discuss their distinctive lives and careers.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The “It’s A Wonderful Life” Book (1986), by Jeanine Basinger and Leonard Maltin Disney Voice Actors: A Biographical Dictionary (2011), by Thomas S.
