Biography Tom Seidel

A minor actor -- in physical stature as well as importance -- Tom Seidel played scores of bit parts all through the 1940s without making much of a mark. The exception was the 1943 Hopalong Cassidy Western False Colors, in which he played a dual role and did it quite well. Retiring from acting in 1950 to go into the contracting business, Seidel was the husband of MGM star Jean Hagen.
