Begley, Ed[ward] (1901–70), character actor. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, he ran away from home and school when he was eleven to work in a traveling carnival. Begley later got work as a radio announcer and made his Broadway debut in 1943. He was a large, powerful character actor who specialized in gruff characters, particularly corrupt politicians and businessmen, but he also had a gentle side, as seen in his complex portrayal of the guilty father Joe Keller in
All My Sons (1947). Begley's other memorable stage role was the belligerent prosecutor Matthew Harrison Brady in
Inherit the Wind (1955) and the next year he played his rival, the gentle defense attorney Drummond.
