Classic villiany[edit]

Keenan Wynn played some of the most memorable villians I've seen on film & television. Could someone explain his method acting? Also, in "Finnian's Rainbow" he briefly flipped to being a good guy. Had he played many non-villian roles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carl Ponder (talk • contribs) 15:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No method acting. He naturally looked like a thuggish villain because of his male chromosomal constitution. It's called type–casting.Lestrade (talk) 16:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

Racing career[edit]

Wynn and Tom Bamford operated a bike and race car shop called British American Motors across from Warner Brothers, and Keenan owned and occasionally drove significant cars; BAM was also a dealer of some rare bikes in the period. It's worth mentioning if anyone cares to do the legwork. http://www.fourcylinderclubhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Pages-from-November-1952-Pt-2.pdf, for instance.
