BiographyPatrick Barry Sullivan (August 29, 1912 – June 6, 1994) was an American actor of film, television, theatre, and radio. In a career that spanned over 40 years, Sullivan appeared in over 100 movies from the 1930s to the 1980s, primarily as a leading actor after establishing himself in the industry, and later as a character actor.

Memorable films and TV programs that Sullivan appeared in include The Great Gatsby, The Bad and the Beautiful, Forty Guns, The Price, and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. He was a featured guest performer in the top television series of his day, starring in two series, Harbormaster and The Tall Man. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his performance on the 1955 teleplay The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.

Ronald Bergan wrote in The Guardian in 1994: "Second division Hollywood actors like Barry Sullivan ... are usually faintly praised for being reliable or solid. However, when given the chance, Sullivan was a powerful, often baleful presence on screen, providing more pleasure than many more touted stars. "
