Biography

Don Beddoe débute sa carrière au théâtre et joue à Broadway (New York) dans treize pièces, entre 1929 (Nigger Rich, avec Spencer Tracy) et 1944.

Au cinéma, comme second rôle de caractère (parfois non-crédité), il contribue à cent-quatre-vingt-trois films américains (dont des westerns) sortis de 1937 à 1970, avant un ultime en 1984. Mentionnons L'Esclave aux mains d'or de Rouben Mamoulian (1939, avec Barbara Stanwyck et Adolphe Menjou), Deux sœurs vivaient en paix d'Irving Reis et Dore Schary (1947, avec Cary Grant, Myrna Loy et Shirley Temple), La Nuit du chasseur de Charles Laughton (1955, avec Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters et Lillian Gish), ou encore Jack le tueur de géants de Nathan Juran (1962, avec Kerwin Mathews et Judi Meredith).

À noter également un petit rôle non-crédité dans Winged Victory de George Cukor (1944), adaptation de la pièce éponyme de Moss Hart qu'il venait de jouer à Broadway (sa dernière) en 1943-1944, notamment aux côtés de Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden et Edmond O'Brien — ceux-ci reprenant leurs rôles à l'écran —.

Pour la télévision, dès 1950, Don Beddoe participe à deux téléfilms et cent-une séries, dont Perry Mason (trois épisodes, 1957-1962), Les Mystères de l'Ouest (un épisode, 1966) et La Petite Maison dans la prairie (un épisode, 1982). Il apparaît pour la dernière fois au petit écran dans un épisode de Les Routes du paradis, diffusé en 1984.

In the Duchy of Cornwall of fairy tale days, the malevolent sorcerer Pendragon, ruler of giants, witches and all creatures evil, was defeated by the wizard, Herla, and along with his disciples exiled to an uncharted, unknown island. Pendragon however vows revenge and Herla dies, meaning there is no longer a threat against Pendragon. Years later the kingdom celebrates the crowning of Princess Elaine (Judi Meredith). The reception goes well until Pendragon (Torin Thatcher) arrives disguised as a foreign lord. He gives her a magic toy that is actually Cormoran the giant, and which is given to the Princess. When Elaine is asleep, Pendragon uses his magic to make the giant grow to full size and capture Elaine. The castle guards are too late to stop the giant. Cormoran takes Elaine to a ship, but before it can sail a brave farm lad named Jack (Kerwin Mathews) rescues Elaine. Jack then fights the giant and kills it. In gratitude, King Mark (Dayton Lummis) makes Jack her protector and entrusts him to safely guide her to a convent across the sea. However he does not know that Elaine's waiting-maid, Lady Constance (Anna Lee), is a witch in league with Pendragon and reveals the King's plan to him.
