He usually enters conversation as the answer to a trivia question. Edward Ellis is best known for playing the title character in the 1934 classic The Thin Man.
Another biggie you may have seen Edward Ellis in was as the Sheriff in Fritz Lang’s Fury (1936) starring Spencer Tracy. While he’s not nearly as memorable as his deputy, played by Walter Brennan, Ellis’ Sheriff is one of the more interesting characters of Fury as a man caught up in doing his job: he puts Tracy’s Joe Wilson behind bars and keeps him there, but he’s also the man on the top step fighting to keep the mob from overrunning Wilson’s prison cell. That could have worked out better.
