Charles Middleton is best remembered as Ming the Merciless from the Flash Gordon serials, but he was a stage actor before moving into films at the age of 46. He played in lots of movies and serials, including Duck Soup, Hop-Along Cassidy, Show Boat (1936), Jesse James, and Dick Tracey Returns.
I first heard of Henry Hull as The Werewolf of London. Later I'd seen him in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. I thought he was British, but he was born in Louisville, Kentucky! Another fine character actor who played in various genres.
Larry Ward played Marshal Frank Ragan in the TV series The Dakotas in 1963, as well as episodes of various other TV shows, including The Outer Limits, Lost In Space, Bonanza, The Virginian, an MASH.
