Walter Sande (July 9, 1906 – November 22, 1971)[1] was an American character actor, known for numerous supporting film and television roles.

Films

[edit]

Born inDenver, Colorado,[1] he was one of those stern, heavyset character actors inHollywood no person could recognize by name. Sande showed an early interest in music as a youth and by his college years managed to start his own band. This led to a job as musical director for20th Century-Fox's theater chain, which, in turn, led him to acting in films beginning in 1937. Usually providing atmospheric bits with no billing, he made an initial impression in serial cliffhangers as a third-string heavy with the popularThe Green Hornet Strikes Again! andSky Raiders.

His first top featured role, however, would come withThe Iron Claw as Jack "Flash" Strong, a photographer who, uncharacteristically for Walter, served as a comic sidekick to our serial hero. Best of all would be his role in another serial as Red Pennington, the amusing sidekick toDon Winslow of the Navy. He repeated his role again inDon Winslow of the Coast Guard, the successful sequel.

The Pennington role would spark a long and steady career in movies, usually a step or two behind Hollywood's elite, inTo Have and Have Not (prominently featured as the fisherman who tries to cheat Bogie), inAlong Came Jones,The Blue Dahlia,Dark City andBad Day at Black Rock, among hundreds of others. A regular authoritative presence in such classic sci-fi films asRed Planet Mars,The War of the Worlds andInvaders from Mars, he also had a recurring featured part in the 1940sBoston Blackie film series playing Detective Matthews alongside Chester Morris, former thief-turned-crime hero.

Television

[edit]

A primary support player during the "Golden Age" of television, Sande worked on nearly every popular western and crime show available in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s and 1960s, includingJohnny Ringo.

He made 15 appearances onDragnet, starringJack Webb, usually portraying Chief of DetectivesThad Brown or some other high-ranking LAPD officer. In 1960, he made a guest appearance onPerry Mason as circus co-owner and murder victim Judson Curtis in "The Case of the Clumsy Clown." In 1965, he appeared in theLost in Space episode "Return from Outer Space" as Sheriff Baxendale.

He had a regular series role on thesyndicatedThe Adventures of Tugboat Annie as Captain Horatio Bullwinkle, Annie's rival, and a recurring one as Lars "Papa" Holstrum, onThe Farmer's Daughter. He guest starred on the syndicated adventure seriesRescue 8, starringJim Davis andLang Jeffries; inDavid Janssen's CBScrime dramaRichard Diamond, Private Detective; on theABC western seriesThe Rebel, starringNick Adams; on theCBS military sitcom/dramaHennesey withJackie Cooper; on the ABC/Warner Brothers western seriesThe Alaskans, starringRoger Moore, and in an episode of the NBC 1960s western seriesRedigo, starringRichard Egan, and in a 1966 episode ofLassie as store owner Tom of Pine Lake.
