Photo no. 58 of 290. ©1958 Universal Pictures Company. American actor Egan (1921-1987) was a judo instructor for the U. S. Army during World War II, so it's probably no surprise that he became a frequent sight in adventure films from the 1950s to 1980s. He had a total of 70 film and TV shows on his resume between 1950 and 1987, with most of his starring roles coming in the mid-1950s and 1960s. Egan was also a fair-to-middlin' dramatic actor, with notable appearances with Elvis Presley in his first film Love Me Tender (1956) and in Split Second (1953), A View from Pompey's Head (1955), Slaughter on 10th Avenue (1957), A Summer Place (1959), Pollyanna (1960) and opposite Joan Collins in Esther and the King (1960). He appeared frequently on TV in the 1960s and 1970s, most notably as Jim Redigo in Empire (1962-1963, renamed Redigo after his character in 1963). Egan spent most of his last decade in dinner theatre throughout the U. S. Lightly cracked and creased. Light scratches on image (not visible head-on). Paper loss on verso (no show-through). Otherwise in fine condition.
