Biography

Lynn was a seasoned veteran of the silver screen, often cast in the role of a gruff, yet lovable, prospector sidekick, bringing much-needed comedic relief to a string of Republic Westerns throughout the 1940s and early 1950s.

In addition to his work in Westerns, Lynn also shared the screen with the legendary Three Stooges in the 1944 film "The Yokes on Me", showcasing his impressive comedic chops alongside some of the most iconic physical comedians of the era.

As his film career began to wind down, Lynn appeared in two notable films of a more spiritual nature, "A Man Called Peter" (1955) and "The Ten Commandments" (1956),further demonstrating his range as a versatile actor capable of tackling a wide range of roles.
