Hero of the Month: Richard Emory

The son of silent screen star Ella Hall, not a lot is know about character actor Richard Emory.  His film debut was in Bandit King of Texas (1949).  As with many actors of the time he would have major supporting parts in B-Westerns like Code of the Silver Sage (1950) and Lawless Cowboys (1952), while garnering small roles in big budget films like Singing in the Rain (1952) and The Last time I Saw Paris (1954).

His only starring role was in Columbia’s next to last serial production Perils of the Wilderness (1956), playing a Canadian Mountie who helps an undercover U.S. Deputy Marshal  stop a smuggling operation headed by the self-proclaimed “Gun Emperor of the Northwest”.
