Born on October 27, 1913 in Atlanta, Georgia,[1] Mallinson would begin his acting career after signing a contract with Warner Brothers in 1945.[2] That year he would have a small role in the film, Pride of the Marines, starring John Garfield and Eleanor Powell.[3] Mallinson would continue making films through the 1940s, and throughout the 1950s, appearing in over 90 films during this period.[4] Notable films in which he would perform include: a featured role in the 1947 film noir Dark Passage, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall;[5] Mighty Joe Young (1949);[6] the Abbott and Costello vehicle, Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951);[7] the 1952 western, Springfield Rifle, starring Gary Cooper;[8] and Howard Hawks' 1952 film, The Big Sky, which stars Kirk Douglas, Dewey Martin, and Elizabeth Threatt.[9] In the early 1950s, he also had a featured role in the film serial, Blackhawk.[2] His final performance in the film industry would be in the western, Westbound (1959), starring Randolph Scott and Virginia Mayo.
