Art Smith (actor)

Art Smith (March 23 1899 - February 24 1973) was a movie actor known for playing supporting roles in the 1940s.

The actor appeared in many black-and-white noirish films in supporting roles alongside more handsome and popular movie leads, such as John Garfield in "Body and Soul" (1947) and Humphrey Bogart in "In a Lonely Place" (1950). The grey-haired actor usually played studious types in films. One of his last movie roles was in "The Hustler" in an uncredited part. He worked on television before finally retiring in 1967.

Smith was one of the victims of the Hollywood blacklist.
