Cook, Elisha, Jr.  (1906)

Actor. Of small stature, with shifty eyes. Cook specialized in losers. Appearing in numerous small roles from the mid-30s onwards, it was not until 1952 that he made his first Western appear?ance, in Shane, where with typical false bravado he falls victim to Jack Palance's gunslinger. Thereafter, he made regular brief appearances in Westerns, invariably playing small-time losers or luckless townsmen.
