Wilton Graff (born Wilton Calvert Ratcliffe; August 13, 1903 – January 13, 1969) was an American actor.
Graff was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Graff.[1] He graduated from West Hartford High School in 1921.[2]
Before he became an actor, Graff worked for newspapers, including The Hartford Times, The Springfield Republican, and the Paris Herald.[3]
Graff debuted on Broadway in Fantasia (1933). His last Broadway appearance was in Gabrielle (1941).[4] He began working in movies in the 1940s and eventually appeared in dozens, usually as a professional man or an authority figure, such as a military officer. He starred in only one film, Bloodlust!, playing against type as an obvious, deranged villain. Most of his work in the last 10 years of his career was on television.[5]
In 1956, he guest starred on James Arness’s TV Western Series Gunsmoke, as “Troy Carver”, in the episode “20-20” (S1E19) as an aging lawman losing both his eyesight and his faith in his ability to handle his job.
Graff died in Pacific Palisades, California on January 14, 1969. He was 65 years old.[6]
