Born in British Columbia on May 21, 1917, character actor Raymond Burr traveled extensively as a youth. However, after the divorce of his
parents, Burr and his mother relocated to California. By 1929, he was was appearing in radio dramas broadcast from San Francisco.
During the Depression, Burr worked endless odd jobs to help support his family, and
with the onset of World War II, he enlisted in the Navy. Prior to entering the Navy, Burr had worked in off-Broadway productions and served
a short stint as a nightclub singer. So after his tour of duty was up, he attempted to break into films, and eventually
he secured a contract at RKO, which he signed in 1946. His first credited film role came in the drama San Quentin
(1946; with Lawrence Tierney). Delivering strong performances, Burr rose through the ranks to be a dependable, menacing heavy.
