1907 - 1990

Mitte der 20er bewarben sich Eddie Quillan und sein Vater bei den Mack Sennett Studios, Eddie erhielt schliesslich ein Engagement und spielte kleinere Rollen in dessen Kurzfilmen.
Sein grosser Durchbruch als Schauspieler kam 1924, als er einem Autofahrer half, den platten Reifen zu wechseln. Dieser Mann arbeitete für Cecil B. DeMille und offerierte ihm Probeaufnahmen. Er wurde unter Vertrag genommen und spielte in "Shoud Husbands Marry?" (24).

In den 20er Jahren folgten weitere Rollen in den Filmen "Kitty from Killarney" (26), "Alice Be Good" (26), "The College Kiddo" (27), "Geraldine" (29) und "The Sophomore" (29).

In den 30er und 40er Jahren avancierte er zu einem vielbeschäftigen Nebendarsteller, der ihn vielen namhaften Produktionen spielte. Zu seinen bekanntesten Filmen gehören "The Big Shot" (31), "Mutiny on the Bounty" (35), "Big City" (37), "Young Mr. Lincoln" (39), "The Grapes of Wrath" (40), "Dark Streets of Cairo" (41), "Here Comes Kelly" (43), "The Impostor" (44), "Dark Mountain" (44), "Jungle Queen" (45) und "Crabbin' in the Cabin" (48).

Auch in den folgenden Jahrzehnten wurde Eddie Quillan immer wieder für kleinere Rollen herangezogen. Er spielte in "A Fool and His Honey" (52), "Brigadoon" (54), "The Bounty Killer" (65) und "Hello, Dolly!" (69).

Vor allem in den 60er Jahren spielte er in einer Vielzahl von Fernsehserien mit wie "Perry Mason", "Daniel Boone", "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", "The Addams Family" und "The Wild, Wild West".

Im Kino sah man ihn nur noch selten. Sein letzter Film war "The Strongest Man in the World" (75), doch für das Fernsehen arbeitete er noch bis Mitte der 80er Jahre weiter.
