Biography

Dick Dickinson was an American stunt performer and actor. He appeared in more than 90 films between 1920 and 1954. Approximately three months before his death, an article in The Pittsburgh Press dubbed Dickinson the "permanent stand-in" for actor Walter Brennan, a position he had occupied since the early 1930s. Interviewed after his death, Brennan also credited Dickinson with considerable expertise on the subjects of lighting and blocking, especially as regards not being upstaged by fellow performers.
