James Warren

The minor Ohio-born star of a few late 40s second-string westerns, James Warren is hardly remembered at all except maybe to trivia enthusiasts. Tall, taciturn, lean and durably handsome, he certainly had what it took. Jim worked as an illustrator in New York with his art at one time appearing in Life, Cosmopolitan and Saturday Evening Post. While studying at the Pratt Institute of Art in New York, an MGM talent scout spotted the strapping actor whose looks and attitude somewhat resembled Gary Cooper.
