Born in Weed, New Mexico, on August 16, 1899, actor Glenn Strange was the son of a saloon owner. By the early 1920s, the 6'4" Strange had
worked as a cowboy and later moved on to professional heavyweight fighting and wrestling. In the late 1920s, he took a job touring with
silent film star Hoot Gibson's Rodeo as a rider. While on tour with the rodeo, Strange landed in Hollywood and entered films as a stuntman
and bit player in Hoot Gibson's films beginning in 1930 with the western The Mounted Stranger (1930). He secured bit parts mostly
at Columbia, then a poverty row studio, throughout the early 1930s. His first credited role came in the Mascot adventure The Hurricane
Express (1932; with John Wayne) and eventually worked his way up as a villainous henchman and an occasional
sheriff in numerous B westerns, including Arizona Days (1937; with Tex Ritter), Blazing Sixes (1937; with Dick Foran), and
Call of the Rockies (1938; with Charles Starrett).
