Timeline
Edward S. Brophy was born on February 27, 1895 in New York City and educated at the University of Virginia.
Studied at the University of Virginia to become a lawyer, but harboring a desire to act he started "hanging around" Norma Talmadge's film studio in New York from 1918 in the hope of picking up work as an extra.
He became a bit and small-part in the movies starting in 1919, but switched to behind-the-scenes work for job security, though he continued appearing in small parts.
Brophy and his wife Annie became godparents to Robert Talmadge Keaton, the second son of Buster Keaton and Natalie Talmadge, in February 1924.
While serving as a property master for Buster Keaton's production unit at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Brophy appeared in a memorable sequence in Keaton's classic The Cameraman (1928), in which Buster and Brophy both try to undress simultaneously in a tiny wardrobe room.
Bald, raspy-voiced, cigar chewing, diminutive Hollywood character actor who specialized in playing gangsters, both in a comic or serious variety, at his peak during the 1930s and 1940s.
Was in three Oscar Best Picture nominees: The Champ (1931), The Thin Man (1934) and Naughty Marietta (1935).
Keaton cast Brophy in larger parts in two of his talkies, and by 1934, Brophy abandoned the production end of the movies altogether and was acting full-time. Possessed of a chubby, bald-headed face with pop-eyes, and blessed with (for a comic) a high-pitched voice, Brophy appeared in scores of comic roles. He also played straight dramatic parts, but was less effective in them.
He was the voice (uncredited) of Timothy Q. Mouse in Dumbo (1941).
Typical of his work was his memorable turn providing comic relief in the small supporting role of the Marine in Manila who adopts the dog "Tripoli" in Howard Hawks' war propaganda masterpiece Air Force (1943).
Provided the (uncredited) voice of Harry the Horse on radio's Damon Runyon Theater, which ran throughout 1949.
In the 1950s, Brophy began taking fewer roles.
His last role was in director John Ford's Western Two Rode Together (1961), during the production of which, he died on May 27, 1960 in Pacific Palisades, California.
The sidekick character that Ron Carey plays in Mel Brooks' 1976 Hitchcock parody "High Anxiety" is named Brophy in tribute to Edward Brophy who played dozens of sidekick parts throughout his career.
