- The son of a physician, Raymond Hatton entered films in 1909, eventually appearing in almost 500 other pictures. In early silents he formed a comedy team with big, burly Wallace Beery. He was best known as the tobacco-chewing, rip-snorting Rusty Joslin in the Three Mesquiteers series. He was also in the Rough Riders series and appeared as Johnny Mack Brown's sidekick as well. His last Western was, fittingly, Requiem for a Gunfighter (1965).- IMDb Mini Biography By: James L. Mason

- Passed away only five days after the death of his wife, on October 21, 1971. They had been married for 62 years.
- Began his career in silent films; ironically in his last film, "In Cold Blood" (1967), he has no dialogue. He shares that distinction with Edward Everett Horton, who started in silents and had no dialogue in his last film, "Cold Turkey" (1970).
- A good actor carries his make-up box inside his head.
