Netflix Movies Starring Allan Nixon

A little-remembered tough-guy actor on film and tough-guy brute off camera during the 40s and 50s, good-looking "C"-level player Allan Nixon was born on August 17, 1915 in Boston, Massachusetts. Geared toward sports in his early years he studied journalism at the University of Richmond on a football scholarship but left before graduating after being signed professionally by the Washington Redskins. When the football career did not work out, he found another athletic outlet as a pro wrestler. While in New York, Nixon found work with the John Robert Powers modeling agency. Through that connection MGM took him on as a client and he relocated West. It was disappointing as the studio only relegated him to playing uncredited bit parts in such secondary war-era films as Rookies on Parade (1941), The Bugle Sounds (1942), Thunder Birds: Soldiers of the Air (1942) and Margin for Error (1943).
