DAN WHITE BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY:
 
Dan White was born on March 25th, 1908, born to George and Orpha White on Falmouth, Florida.  He had eleven siblings and at the age of fourteen he ran away from home and began working in show business.
 
White began performing as a vaudeville performer as well as in a traveling circus.  He also performed for nine years in a theater show at Tampa's Rialto Theater.  After marrying Matilda Mae Spivey in 1933 he took a break from pursuing a career in show business for financial reasons and found work with the Conservation Corps in Florida. 

White longed to have a career in acting and therefore, he chose to relocate his family to Los Angeles, California in 1935.  He had a difficult time finding acting work right away and again for financial reasons he had to put his dreams on hold and take a job offering for six month working on the Pan American Highway.
 
Upon returning to Hollywood he finally caught the attention of Republic Studio who chose to cast him in a number of films.  Some of his early roles included, "Born to Be Wild" (1938) with Ralph Byrd, Doris Weston and Ward Bond, "Murder in the Family" (1938) co-starring Barry Jones, Jessica Tandy and Evelyn Ankers, "Prairie Moon" (1938) starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Shirley Deane, Stanley Andrews, William Pawley and Warner Richmond, "Lady of Burlesque" (1943) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Michael O'Shea, Iris Adrian, Pinky Lee and Gerald Mohr, "Rough Riders' Round-Up" (1939) starring Roy Rogers, Lynne Roberts, George Meeker, Raymond Hatton, Dorothy Sebastian, Eddie Acuff and William Pawley, "Destry Rides Again" (1939) starring Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart, Mischa Auer, Charles Winninger, Brian Donlevy, Allen Jenkins, Irene Hervey, Billy Gilbert, Bill Cody Jr., and Una Merkel and "Our Town" (1940) starring Martha Scott, William Holden, Fay Bainter, Beulah Bondi, Thomas Mitchell, Guy Kibbee, Stu Erwin and Frank Craven. 

As his career in the industry progressed he added over 250 roles to his resume and although, many were un-credited, White did appear in some more well known films such as, "Junior G-Men of the Air" (1942) starring the Dead End Kids and the Little Tough Guys, Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Frankie Darro, Turhan Bey, Lionel Atwill and Frank Albertson, "The Yearling" (1946) Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman, Claude Jarman Jr., Chill Wills, Henry Travers, Clem Bevans and Forrest Tucker., "Duel in the Sun" (1946) starring Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotten, Gregory Peck, Lillian Gish, Lionel Barrymore, Herbert Marshall, Butterfly McQueen, Lane Chandler, Charles Bickford, Otto Kruger, Walter Huston, Joan Tetzel, Harry Carey, Sidney Blackmer and Scott McKay, "Four Faces West" (1948) starring Joel McCrea, his real-life wife Frances Dee, William Conrad and Charles Bickford, "Distant Drums" (1951) starring Gary Cooper, Richard Webb, Mari Aldon and Arthur Hunnicutt, "Red River" (1948) starring John Wayne, Joanne Dru, Walter Brennan, Coleen Gray, Harry Carey, John Ireland, Hank Worden, Paul Fix, Chief Yowlachie, Noah Beery Jr. and Harry Carey, Jr., "Vengeance Valley" (1951) starring Burt Lancaster, Joanne Dru, Robert Walker, Ray Collins, Will Wright, Hugh O'Brian and Stanley Andrews and Sally Forrest, "Suddenly" (1954) starring Frank Sinatra, Nancy Gates, Sterling Hayden, Willis Bouchey and James Gleason, "Rage at Dawn" (1955) starring Randolph Scott, Forrest Tucker, Denver Pyle, Edgar Buchanan, Mala Powers and J.
