Lloyd Corrigan

Description[from Freebase]

Lloyd Corrigan (October 16, 1900 – November 5, 1969) was an American film actor, producer, screenwriter and director who began working in films in the 1920s. The son of actress Lillian Elliott, Corrigan directed films (usually mysteries), such as Daughter of the Dragon starring Anna May Wong (one of a trilogy of Fu Manchu movies for which he has writing credits), before dedicating himself more to acting in 1938. Corrigan played both romantic leads and villains throughout his career. He also appeared in a number of Boston Blackie films as millionaire Arthur Manleder. In the 1950 film Cyrano de Bergerac, he played Ragueneau, the lovable pastry cook, though in this version the role is partially combined with that of Ligniere, the drunken poet, who is omitted from the film. Corrigan continued acting in films until the mid 1960s. He also worked extensively in television, having appeared as Dean Dodsworth, a college administrator, in the second season (1954-1955) of Meet Mr. McNutley, when the CBS sitcom was renamed The Ray Milland Show for its star, Ray Milland (1907-1986).
