Ryan was a familiar movie face for more than two decades in Hollywood's classical years, his studio ups and downs, independent detours and outlier adventures paralleling the arc of American cinema as it went from a national pastime to near collapse. A little prettier and he might have been one of the golden boys of the golden age. But there could be something a touch menacing about his face (something open and sweet too), which bunched as tight as a fist, and his towering height (he stood 6 foot 4) at times loomed like a threat. The rage boiled up in him so quickly. It made him seem dangerous. He was known for his villains, and it was the complexity of these characters, their emotional and psychological kinks, that elevated even his lesser roles. He never achieved the supernova stardom of a Gable or Bogart, and these days Ryan's glower may be more familiar than his name. Yet he was the type of next-level star and B-movie stalwart that helped make old Hollywood great.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Filmography">Filmography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Robert_Ryan&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Filmography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Year </th> <th>Title </th> <th>Role </th> <th class="unsortable">Notes </th></tr> <tr> <td>1940 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/The_Ghost_Breakers" title="The Ghost Breakers">The Ghost Breakers</a></i> </td> <td>Intern </td> <td>Uncredited </td></tr> <tr> <td>1940 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Queen_of_the_Mob" title="Queen of the Mob">Queen of the Mob</a></i> </td> <td>Jim </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1940 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Golden_Gloves_(1940_film)" title="Golden Gloves (1940 film)">Golden Gloves</a></i> </td> <td>Pete Wells </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1940 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/North_West_Mounted_Police_(film)" title="North West Mounted Police (film)">North West Mounted Police</a></i> </td> <td>Constable Dumont </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1940 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/The_Texas_Rangers_Ride_Again" class="mw-redirect" title="The Texas Rangers Ride Again">The Texas Rangers Ride Again</a></i> </td> <td>Eddie </td> <td>Uncredited </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Bombardier_(film)" title="Bombardier (film)">Bombardier</a></i> </td> <td>Joe Connors </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/The_Sky%27s_the_Limit_(1943_film)" title="The Sky's the Limit (1943 film)">The Sky's the Limit</a></i> </td> <td>Reginald Fenton </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Behind_the_Rising_Sun_(film)" title="Behind the Rising Sun (film)">Behind the Rising Sun</a></i> </td> <td>Lefty O'Doyle </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/The_Iron_Major" title="The Iron Major">The Iron Major</a></i> </td> <td>Father Timothy 'Tim' Donovan </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Gangway_for_Tomorrow" title="Gangway for Tomorrow">Gangway for Tomorrow</a></i> </td> <td>Joe Dunham </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1943 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Tender_Comrade" title="Tender Comrade">Tender Comrade</a></i> </td> <td>Chris Jones </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1944 </td> <td><i><a href="/wiki/Marine_Raiders_(film)" title="Marine Raiders (film)">Marine Raiders</a></i> </td> <td>Capt.
