'''John McIntire''' ([[June 27]], [[1907]] – [[January 30]], [[1991]]) was an American [[character actor]].
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.
