Noah Beery, Jr.

Noah Lindsey Beery , known professionally as Noah Beery Jr. or just Noah Beery, was an American actor specializing in warm, friendly character parts similar to the ones played by his paternal uncle, Wallace Beery, although Noah Beery Jr., unlike his paternal uncle, seldom broke away from playing supporting roles. Beerys father, Noah Nicholas Beery , enjoyed a similarly lengthy film career as a major supporting actor.

Beery was born in New York City, New York, where his father was working as a stage actor. He was given his nickname Pidge by George M. Cohans sister Josie. The family moved to California in 1915 when his father began acting in motion pictures. After attending school in Los Angeles, they moved to a ranch in the San Fernando Valley, a style of living he would maintain for the rest of his life.
