Hi,

Wifrid Lawson, made 2 memorable films with Duke,

The Long Voyage Home (1940) .... Captain
Allegheny Uprising (1939) .... 'Mac' MacDougall

Wifrid Lawson, is one of my favourite charcter actors.
He had an unusual voice and mannerisms, which I find fascinating.
His persona, and unusual style, particularly noticeable
in the 2 movies he made with Duke.

Hi Keith
He always seeed to me to be a little bit wierd but he was a fine actor.
Regards
Arthur

Our members in the UK, might be interested to know,
that later in his career, he appeared in 'Z Cars' and ' Danger Man'

I had never heard of Wilfred Lawson until I saw him when I first saw: Allegheny Uprising. I can say that for me, he was instantly likable. He sure had such an easily recognized voice.
