Biography
Steve Brodie (born John Daugherty Stephens; 21 November 1919 – 9 January 1992) was an American stage, film and television actor. He took his screen name in tribute to the 19th-century daredevil who claimed to have jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge. Raised in Kansas, he began his career in the mid-1940s after appearing in a Hollywood stage production.
Brodie appeared in dozens of films, mainly at MGM, RKO and Republic Pictures, often in westerns and B-movies. He played supporting roles in Out of the Past (1947), Crossfire (1947) and The Caine Mutiny (1954), and had a leading part in Desperate (1947). Later film credits include Blue Hawaii (1961).
From the mid-1950s he worked primarily in television, with guest appearances in series such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents and various western programmes.
