About Wesley Addy

Robert Wesley Addy was an American actor of stage, television, and film. Though obscure, it was a professional company which likely secured for Addy his first Equity card. Addy's first known screen performance came from an hour-long production of Noël Coward's Hay Fever on New York experimental television. The first post-war mention of Addy resuming his performing career comes from February 1946, when he again took over a role on short notice.
