Biography

Hawk-nosed character actor Ed Brady entered films around 1913. Brady spent most of the silent era working in serials and westerns, with a few big-budget diversions like Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings. He made a smooth transition to talkies as "Greasy" in The Virginian. One of his largest roles was as Marxist rabble-rouser and petty thief Max Helstrum in Son of Kong (1933), the semicomic sequel to the classic monster show King Kong. Occasionally billed as Edward J. Brady, the actor continued showing up in bits and featured roles until his death in 1941. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
