Personal Quote:

Trivia:

Despite having been a decorated war hero in World War II, he declined to talk about this, in part because of the traumatic experiences he had in killing others and watching friends die. The roles he chose after returning from the war were generally darker, some say because he was hardened by combat. See more »

Trademark:

Soft-spoken, extremely polite and shy manner, with a very recognizable drawl in his voice. See more »

Jimmy
