“Buster” Crabbe
I watched You're Telling Me for Larry “Buster” Crabbe's birthday. He has such a small role in the film that it is really difficult to say what type of actor he really was. He was not your classically handsome leading actor of the early 30's but you could tell that he was athletic and had a large presence on screen. He had a small role as the rich boyfriend of W.C. Fields daughter.
He was quite a western actor so I tried to find some of those films, but I could not find any available in my area. His biggest role was probably in the film serials of Flash Gordon. In looking up information about him on Wicipedia he had a wide and variety of work in his life. He was a medal winning Olympic swimmer, he thought about going into law school before acting. In the down times of his acting he was a stockbroker and businessman.
