Ted de Corsia (1903-73), one of the most familiar supporting players in crime and noir films, made his movie debut in Orson Welles' THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI. In the '40s and '50s he made a career playing movie villains and gangsters in ‘such films as THE NAKED CITY, THE BIG COMBO, THE KILLING, and SLIGHTLY SCARLET, but he's perhaps best remembered for his role as a gangster turning state's evidence in THE ENFORCER. On radio he voiced roles on many shows including “The March of Time” and “The Shadow,” and later in his career he turned up often on TV.
