Remembering Lawrence James Tierney (1919-2002), the American film, stage and television actor, born in Brooklyn #OnThisDay. An imposing tough guy across six decades of screen roles, he was a memorable #Dillinger for Monogram (1945), the hitchhiking sociopath in #TheDevilThumbsARide and the murderous Sam Wilde in Robert Wise's #BornToKill (both 1947). Latterly cast as grizzled authority figures and supporting heavies in horror films and the mob boss in Reservoir Dogs (1992).
