just occurred to me this could've gone into 'Broadcasting' forum since his greatest fame was on television.

I really enjoy Morgan's big scene in THE SHOOTIST, when he's reassured that John Wayne's character is going to die soon (by John Wayne), his reaction is a wonderful mix of relief and malace.

He ran the coconut shy in 1945's Technicolor State Fair.

Harry Morgan always had an edge to him: I liked him immensely.

For me, his most memorable role will always be as the henchman dispatched by Charles Laughton to try and get rid of Ray Milland in Paramount's THE BIG CLOCK.

Since it's Christmas movie time, I will be seeing him very soon in The Holiday Affair. RIP.
