Herbert Rudley, (March 22, 1910 - September 9, 2006), was a prolific character actor who appeared on stage, in films and on television.
Rudley was born in 1910 (some sources say 1911) in Philadelphia, and attended Temple University. He left Temple after winning a scholarship to Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre.
He began appearing on stage in 1926. His Broadway debut was in Did I Say No in 1931. He also appeared in stage productions of The Threepenny Opera, Abe Lincoln in Illinois and Macbeth.
In 1940 he appeared in the film version of Abe Lincoln in Illinois. For the next four decades he appeared in dozens of supporting film roles, including The Seventh Cross and Rhapsody in Blue, the film biography of George Gershwin in which he portrayed Ira Gershwin. He also appeared in A Walk in the Sun, Joan of Arc, and The Young Lions, in which he played an unsympathetic army officer.
On TV he had frequent assignments in the early medium's dramatic programs, then took on recurring roles on several comedies, often playing irascible bosses or stern military types. He was best known for his role as Eve Arden's husband in The Mothers-in-Law.
