Dewey Robinson (August 17, 1898 β December 11, 1950) was an American film character actor who appeared in more than 250 films between 1931 and 1952.\n', '
Dewey Robinson was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1898, and made his Broadway debut in 1922 in a melodrama called The Last Warning, which ran for seven months and 238 performances. Several years later, in 1925, he appeared in a comedy, Solid Ivory, which was not a success, and was also his final Broadway production.\n', '
In 1931, Robinson, a big, barrel-chested man at 6Β ft 1Β in (1.85Β m) who easily conveyed physical menace, made his first film when he played a waiter in George Cukor\'s Tarnished Lady, starring Tallulah Bankhead. That performance did not receive screen credit, and this was often the case over Robinson\'s career, although he was in the billed main cast in Murder on the Campus (1934), Navy Secrets (1939) and There Goes Kelly (1945). Because of his size and physical presence, Robinson worked often during periods when gangster movies were the rage.\n', '
