Paul Bradley's cinematic journey commenced after he bid farewell to his life in the cavalry. His Italian-sounding real name necessitated a stage name, which ultimately proved to be a shrewd career move, as he went on to become one of the most sought-after dress extras of the 1930s.
During this period, Bradley formed a professional and personal bond with George Sanders, serving as his stand-in and personal assistant. Whenever Sanders worked in the United States, Bradley was his go-to stand-in, and their camaraderie was such that Bradley even had the honor of serving as the best man at one of Sanders' weddings.
As Sanders' career took him to Europe, Bradley's striking white hair and slender mustache made him a natural fit for socialite scenes in numerous dramas and television westerns. His dashing good looks also led to a significant amount of work as a mature male clothing model.
In contrast to many others, whose careers came to a close, Bradley's career spanned over six decades, finally concluding in the early 1990s, when he decided to bring a close to a remarkable career that had spanned an impressive 60 years.
