Biography
Early life
Dunn was born in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Dunn's father was a blacksmith, and his mother was a teacher.[2] His father, Timothy Ronald Dunn, comes from a Scots-Irish American family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Acting career
Ralph Dunn used his burly body and rich, theatrical voice to good effect in hundreds of minor feature-film roles and supporting appearances in two-reel comedies. He came to Hollywood during the early talkie era, beginning his film career with 1932's The Crowd Roars.
A huge man with a withering glare, Dunn was an ideal "opposite" for short, bumbling comedians like Lou Costello in the 1944 Abbott and Costello comedy In Society, Dunn plays the weeping pedestrian who explains that he does not want to go to Beagle Street because that is where a 2-ton safe fell on his head and killed him. A frequent visitor to the Columbia short subjects unit, Dunn showed up in the Three Stooges comedies Mummy's Dummies, as well as Who Done It? and its remake, For Crimin' Out Loud
Dunn kept busy into the '60s, appearing in such TV series as Kitty Foyle and such films as Black Like Me.
