William Gerald Franey (June 23, 1889 – December 6, 1940) was an American film actor.[1]

Biography

Born in Chicago in 1889,[2] Franey appeared in more than 400 films between 1914 and 1941, mostly playing comedic roles. He was an actor of disheveled appearance and fuzzy mustache, usually in a suit a couple of sizes too big. His late career included numerous uncredited appearances in classics like Bringing Up Baby, and he also appeared as the father-in-law of Edgar Kennedy in several of his series of short comedies.

Franey contracted influenza and died from complications involving the illness in 1940.[2]

Gale Henry, Vivian Oakland, Milburn Morante, Edgar Kennedy, and Max Asher (actor) attended his funeral.
