Raymond Bailey was quite adept at portraying one of America's most serious problems and diseases, corporate greed, and giving it a comic twist. He and David White were masters at playing the greedy executive. He was tall, silver-haired, with a well-groomed mustache, sneaky eyes and the look of an executive type. He was born in San Francisco, California on May 6, 1904. Although he tried acting in junior high school, he aspired to be an executive or businessman until at age 19, he worked in a bank for a time and decided it was not the life for him. He headed for Hollywood to try the motion picture business. He worked for a time as a laborer at a movie studio, in the Silent days, and was fired for attempting to join a mob scene being filmed. He tried a stage career in New York but with no great success he scrapped those plans and spent a few years as a mess boy, deckhand and quartermaster on a freighter traveling the world by sea. Later after a stint with some stock theatre companies his acting career took off. He made his film debut in "Women in the Wind" (1939) uncredited as an Attendant.
