William ‘Billy’ Benedict Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

William Benedict (April 16, 1917 – November 25, 1999) was an American actor. Born in Haskell, Oklahoma, he took part in school theatricals, and on leaving school he made his way to Hollywood. His first film was $10 Raise (1935) starring Edward Everett Horton, which launched Benedict on a busy career. The blond-haired Benedict almost always played juvenile roles, such as newsboys, messengers, office boys, and farmhands. In 1939, when Universal Pictures began its Little Tough Guys series to compete with the popular Dead End Kids features, Billy Benedict was recruited into the cast. These films led him into the similar East Side Kids movies (usually playing a member of the East Side gang, but occasionally in villainous roles). The East Side Kids became The Bowery Boys in 1946, and Benedict stayed with the series (as "Whitey") through the end of 1951.Other films included Way Down East (1935), My Little Chickadee (1940) starring W. C. Fields and Mae West, The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) with Henry Fonda, Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster (1955), The Sting (1973) with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Farewell, My Lovely (1975), Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976) and Born Again (1978). Benedict never shook his juvenile image completely, and continued to play messengers and news vendors well into his sixties. He also worked often in television commercials.

#Quote
1[on the "Bowery Boys" and other quickies he made for Monogram Pictures] We had a lot of fun, but we really worked hard. They were almost like shooting miniature serials. We did a lot of them in three days and three nights.
#Fact
1Interviewed in Tom Weaver's book, "They Fought in the Creature Features" (McFarland & Co., 1994).
2After leaving the Bowery Boys series, Benedict worked predominantly as an assistant in making miniature sets.
3Married for the first time in 1969, while working on "Hello, Dolly" - to a girl named Dolly.
