Timeline
Rotund comic character actor of American films. Born Andrew Vabre Devine in Flagstaff, Arizona, he was raised in nearby Kingman, Arizona, the son of Irish-American hotel operator Thomas Devine and his wife Amy. Devine was an able athlete as a student and actually played semi-pro football under a phony name (Jeremiah Schwartz, often erroneously presumed to be his real name). Devine used the false name in order to remain eligible for college football. A successful football player at St. Mary & St. Benedict College, Arizona State Teacher's College, and Santa Clara University, Devine went to Hollywood with dreams of becoming an actor. After a number of small roles in silent films, he was given a good part in the talkie The Spirit of Notre Dame (1931) in part due to his fine record as a football player. His sound-film career seemed at risk due to his severely raspy voice, the result of a childhood injury. His voice, however, soon became his trademark, and he spent the next forty-five years becoming an increasingly popular and beloved comic figure in a wide variety of films.
Was in six Oscar Best Picture nominees: Romeo and Juliet (1936), A Star Is Born (1937), In Old Chicago (1938), Stagecoach (1939), Around the World in 80 Days (1956) and How the West Was Won (1962). Around the World in 80 Days won.
John Ford picked him to play Buck, the stagecoach teamster, in Stagecoach (1939) because he had actual experience driving a six-horse team.
In the 1950s, his fame grew enormously with his co-starring role as Jingles opposite Guy Madison's Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951), on television and radio simultaneously.
Best known for his sidekick role opposite Guy Madison on the Western series Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951). As Jingles P. Jones, he rode a horse named Joker. The role was originally offered to but turned down by Burl Ives.
In 1955, before the Hickok series ended, Devine took over the hosting job on a children's show retitled Andy's Gang (1955), in which he gained new fans among the very young.
Made his stage debut as Captain Andy Hawks in Guy Lombardo's 1957 production of "Show Boat" at a theatre in Long Island.
Had played Hap Gorman on the first season of the MGM/NBC television series Flipper (1964).
Was mentioned in the 1974 song "Pencil Thin Mustache" by Jimmy Buffett.
