Timeline

1940

Pierre Watkin was one of a stable of tall, distinguished-looking and sophisticated character actors (such as Russell Hicks, Jonathan Hale, Selmer Jackson and Samuel S. Hinds) whom Hollywood kept steadily employed playing political leaders, army officers, lawyers, wealthy businessmen and the like. Unlike many of his colleagues in that category, however, Watkin is notable for his (relatively) soft voice and precisely articulated speech. He is probably best remembered by film enthusiasts as Mr. Skinner, the unctuous, self-important bank president, in the W. C. Fields comedy WC Fields Clips From The Bank Dick (1940), in which he uttered the now-classic line, "Allow me to give you a hearty handclasp". He was the third of four sons of C. H. and Elizabeth J. Watkin, who operated a lodging house for "theater people" in Sioux City, IA. After completing high school he entered the acting profession, and by the time he registered for the draft in WWI he was working with an acting troupe--headed by Sidney Toler--and married. He requested a deferment from military service because he was the sole support of his wife.

1952

Watkin was hired to take over the role of Perry White on Adventures of Superman (1952) after John Hamilton died in 1958 (Watkin had played the role in the serials Superman (1948) and Atom Man vs. Superman (1950)), but series star George Reeves died shortly after Watkin was hired, and the show was canceled.
