Timeline
Stony-faced, grizzled-looking tough guy Charles McGraw (real name Charles Butters) notched up dozens of TV and film credits, usually portraying law enforcement figures or military officers, plus the odd shifty gangster. While at high school he worked as a theatre usher and was nicknamed "Chick" by his friends. At 17, he returned to his home town of Akron to study at university. He hitchhiked to New York from Ohio, enjoyed a substantial period in the boxing ring as a middleweight pugilist and then found his first success as an actor in 1937 on the Broadway stage in the Clifford Odets play "Golden Boy". Afterwards, stage work proved hard to come by. Therefore, to make ends meet, McGraw began to earn his living as a hoofer in dime-a-dance establishments.
His career in Hollywood began in 1942 with bit parts and stalled again after a brief sojourn in the army.
However, by 1947, he had picked up a solid amount of work as radio actor thanks to his gravelly voice which was perfectly suited for crime dramas. This did eventually re-open the door to Hollywood. Before long, McGraw regularly plied his trade as assorted hard cases who perfectly matched his craggy looks and steely-eyed visage.

Best remembered among his standout roles are the dogged cop protecting a mob witness in the 1952 classic thriller The Narrow Margin (1952) , as resolute Lt.
In September 1955 he surfaced in the Humphrey Bogart role as Rick in the television version of Casablanca (1955) for ABC. It lasted only one season. However, for some reason, Rick's last name here was Jason. NBC revived the series again in (Casablanca (1983)), this time with David Soul of Starsky and Hutch (1975) fame and with the lead character's name reverting to that of the original film -- Rick Blaine.
He was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6927 Hollywood Blvd. on February 8, 1960.
