General-purpose actor Larry Blake made his screen debut playing a young Adolf_Hitler in James_Whale's troubled The_Road_Back (1937), only to see his scenes end up on the cutting room floor. A difficult actor to pigeonhole, Blake went on to play everything from cops to robbers in a long career that lasted through the late '70s and included such television shows as The_Lone_Ranger, The Adventures of Superman, Yancy_Derringer, Perry Mason, Leave It to Beaver, Gunsmoke, The_Munsters, The_Beverly_Hillbillies, Ironside, Little House on the Prairie, and Kojak. His son is Michael_F._Blake, a well-known makeup artist and the biographer of silent screen star Lon_Chaney. Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
