Earle Dewey Biography

Rotund vaudeville comic Earle Dewey co-starred with William Frawley in several Pathé Folly comedies in 1929, and after a lengthy hiatus, returned to films in 1940 to play scores of rustic, comic characters, more often than not unbilled. Dewey was one of the townsfolk in Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943), blithely unaware that there was a killer in his midst; he also played the judge who awards Charles Winninger's hog first prize in State Fair (1945). - Hans J.
