Jonathan Hale

He began life as Jonathan Hatley and served in the diplomatic corps. His stately bearing and good looks drew him to acting where he was almost invariably cast as a corporate executive, politician, or military officer. He is best known for appearing in 28 Blondie movies as the irascible boss, Mr. Dithers. Jonathan Hale committed suicide by shooting himself.
