Lawrence Tierney is kinda like George Raft: a #FilmNoir guy that’s the real deal in a way that is palpably unsettling but unlike George Raft he’s not charming or handsome enough for you to momentarily forget it

Hey gang!
This one’s the real thing.
Nobody can say #BornToKill isn’t noir.

Here for “Born to Kill”

Remembering Lawrence James Tierney (1919-2002), the American film, stage and television actor, born in Brooklyn #OnThisDay. An imposing tough guy across six decades of screen roles, he was a memorable #Dillinger for Monogram (1945), the hitchhiking sociopath in #TheDevilThumbsARide and the murderous Sam Wilde in Robert Wise's #BornToKill (both 1947). Latterly cast as grizzled authority figures and supporting heavies in horror films and the mob boss in Reservoir Dogs (1992).
