Character actor Keenan Wynn was the son of legendary comedian Ed Wynn. After attending St. John's Military Academy, Wynn obtained his few professional theatrical jobs with the Maine Stock Company. Wynn developed into a fine comic and dramatic actor on his own in several Broadway plays and on radio. He was signed to an MGM contract in 1942, scoring a personal and professional success as the sarcastic sergeant in 1944's "See Here Private Hargrove" in 1944. Wynn's newfound popularity as a supporting actor aroused a bit of jealousy from his father, who underwent professional doldrums in the 1940s; father and son grew closer in the 1950s when Ed, launching a second career as a dramatic actor, often turned to his son for moral support and professional advice. Wynn's film career flourished into the 1960s and 1970s, during which time he frequently appeared in such Disney films as "The Absent-Minded Professor" and "The Love Bug" as apoplectic villain Alonso Hawk. Wynn also starred in such TV series as "Troubleshooters" and "Dallas". Encroaching deafness and a drinking problem plagued Wynn in his final years, but he always delivered the goods onscreen.
