Biography

Au théâtre, Charles Trowbride débute à Broadway (New York) en 1913 — dans The Marriage Game, avec Alison Skipworth — ; il y joue jusqu'en 1934, dans vingt-quatre pièces et une comédie musicale (Just Because en 1922). Parmi ses partenaires sur les planches, citons encore Ruth Chatterton (ex. : Daddy Long Legs en 1914-1915) et Walter Connolly (ex. : Ladies Leave en 1929).

Au cinéma, il participe à plus de deux-cents films américains, dans des seconds rôles de caractère, ou dans des petits rôles (parfois non crédités). Après huit premiers films muets, entre 1915 et 1922, il revient à l'écran en 1931. Son ultime prestation (un petit rôle) est dans La Dernière Fanfare (1958, avec Spencer Tracy) de John Ford, avec lequel il avait déjà collaboré auparavant (ex. : le film de guerre Les Sacrifiés en 1945, avec John Wayne et Robert Montgomery, ce dernier également coréalisateur).

Au sein de la filmographie de Charles Trowbridge, mentionnons aussi, entre autres, les réalisateurs Jack Conway (ex. : Une fine mouche en 1936, avec Jean Harlow), Edmund Goulding (ex. : Le Grand Mensonge en 1941, avec Bette Davis), ou encore Elia Kazan, à l'occasion d'un western — genre auquel l'acteur contribue assez régulièrement —, Le Maître de la prairie (1947, avec Katharine Hepburn et Spencer Tracy).

Il se retire après une unique apparition (un petit rôle, là aussi) à la télévision, dans un épisode — diffusé en 1959 — de la série-western Riverboat .

In "a New England city," Frank Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) plans to run for a fifth term. Skeffington rose from poverty in an Irish ghetto to become mayor and former governor, and is skilled at using the power of his office and an enormous political machine of ward heelers to receive support from his Irish Catholic base and other demographics. Rumors of graft and abuse of power are widespread, however, and the Protestant bishop, newspaper publisher Amos Force (John Carradine), banker Norman Cass (Basil Rathbone), and other members of the city's traditional elite the Irish Catholics replaced oppose Skeffington; so does Martin Burke (Donald Crisp), Catholic cardinal, Skeffington's childhood friend. They support the candidacy of Kevin McCluskey (Charles B. Fitzsimons), a young Catholic lawyer and war veteran with no political experience.
