The craggy-faced film actor was born in [[Spokane, Washington]] and raised in [[Montana]], growing up with ranchers and cowboys which would eventually inspire his performances in dozens of westerns later in life. The [[University of Southern California|USC]] graduate began his acting career in radio and on stage. McIntire began his long movie career in [[1947 in film|1947]] often playing roles as police chiefs, judges and sometimes crazy coots. His films include the [[film noir]] classic ''[[The Asphalt Jungle]]'' ([[1950 in film|1950]]) and his last film playing a crazy dog owner in ''[[Turner & Hooch]]'' ([[1989 in film|1989]]). He also played movie villains in westerns, some of which are considered the best films of the genre; ''[[Winchester '73]]'' ([[1950 in film|1950]]), ''[[The Far Country]]'' ([[1955 in film|1955]]), both with [[Jimmy Stewart]], and ''[[The Tin Star]]'' ([[1957 in film|1957]]) in which he was not a villain but a country doctor. On television, he appeared in ''[[The Naked City]]'' (his character was killed off) and played the wagon master on ''[[Wagon Train]]'' in [[1961 in television|1961]], and replaced actor [[Lee J. Cobb]] on ''[[The Virginian (TV series)|The Virginian]]'' in [[1967 in television|1967]]. McIntire married fellow actor [[Jeanette Nolan]], in 1935, and they had two children together, one of whom was the actor [[Tim McIntire]] who starred in the 1978 film ''[[American Hot Wax]]''. He also played the brief but memorable role of Sheriff Al Chambers in Alfred Hitchcock's ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'' (1960), in which Nolan read some of Mother's lines and also did some voice-over screaming. McIntire worked more closely with [[Jeanette Nolan]] in Disney's 1977 ''[[The Rescuers]]'', where he had voiced the cat [[Rufus (The Rescuers)|Rufus]] and she, the [[muskrat]] Ellie Mae. Four years later, the couple worked on another Disney film, ''[[The Fox and the Hound]]'', with McIntire as the voice of Mr. Digger, a badger, and Nolan as the voice of Widow Tweed. John McIntire died from [[emphysema]] and [[lung cancer]] in [[Pasadena, California]] in 1991. He was 83 years old. ==Partial filmography== {{col-begin}} {{col-break}} *''[[The Hucksters]]'' (1947) (uncredited) *''[[Call Northside 777]]'' (1948) *''[[Black Bart (1948 film)|Black Bart]]'' (1948) *''[[The Street with No Name]]'' (1948) *''[[Command Decision (film)|Command Decision]]'' (1948) *''[[Down to the Sea in Ships]]'' (1949) *''[[Francis (1950 film)|Francis]]'' (1950) *''[[Shadow on the Wall (film)|Shadow on the Wall]]'' (1950) *''[[The Asphalt Jungle]]'' (1950) *''[[Winchester '73 (1950 film)|Winchester '73]]'' (1950) *''[[Walk Softly, Stranger]]'' (1950) *''[[The Raging Tide]]'' (1951) *''[[You're in the Navy Now]]'' (1951) *''[[That's My Boy (1951 film)|That's My Boy]]'' (1951) *''[[Westward the Women]]'' (1951) *''[[The World in His Arms]]'' (1952) *''[[The President's Lady (film)|The President's Lady]]'' (1953) *''[[A Lion Is in the Streets]]'' (1953) *''[[Apache (film)|Apache]]'' (1954) {{col-break}} *''[[The Far Country]]'' (1955) *''[[The Scarlet Coat]]'' (1955) *''[[The Kentuckian]]'' (1955) *''[[The Phenix City Story]]'' (1955) *''[[Backlash (1956 film)|Backlash]]'' (1956) *''[[The Tin Star]]'' (1957) *''[[Who Was That Lady?]]'' (1960) *''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'' (1960) *''[[Elmer Gantry (film)|Elmer Gantry]]'' (1960) *''[[Flaming Star]]'' (1960), with [[Elvis Presley]] *''[[Two Rode Together]]'' (1961) *''[[Summer and Smoke]]'' (1961) *''[[Herbie Rides Again]]'' (1974) *''[[Rooster Cogburn]]'' (1975) *''[[The Rescuers]]'' (1977) (voice) *''[[The Fox and the Hound (film)|The Fox and the Hound]]'' (1981) (voice) *''[[Honkytonk Man]]'' (1982) *''[[Cloak & Dagger]]'' (1984), with wife Jeanette Nolan *''[[Turner & Hooch]]'' (1989) {{col-end}} ==External links== * {{imdb name|id=0570615|name=John McIntire}} {{DEFAULTSORT:McIntire, John}} [[Category:1907 births]] [[Category:1991 deaths]] [[Category:American film actors]] [[Category:American television actors]] [[Category:Deaths from emphysema]] [[Category:Lung cancer deaths]] [[Category:People from Spokane, Washington]] [[Category:Western film actors]] [[de:John McIntire]] [[fr:John McIntire]]
