    Lew Meehan (birthname James Llewellyn Meehan)was born September 7, 1890 in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota and died on August 10, 1951 in Los Angeles, California. His film career began in 1921 and ended in 1944, albeit he appears in a stock footage montage, as a police car driver (from "Waterfront Lady" (1935)) in 1947's "Dick Tracy Meets Grusome". His flat-and-crooked nose and morose appearance relegated he spend most of his 200-plus film career as an uncredited henchman with few lines of dialogue but, once in a while,he moved upward to the position of dog-kicking henchman or even a credited none-to-bright hired gunman in "The Red Rope (1937)". His 1942 World War II draft registration card has his occupation as...Freelance actor-motion pictures... and the "person who will always know your address " line listed Screen Actors Guild, with a notation of "(no relatives)".
