Life and career


Hale was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Before his acting career, Hale worked in the Diplomatic Corps. Hale is most well known as Dagwood Bumstead's boss, Julius Caesar Dithers, in the Blondie film series in the 1940s. He is also notable for playing Inspector Fernack in several installments of The Saint film series.
In 1950, he made two appearances in The Cisco Kid as Barry Owens. He also appeared in two episodes of Adventures of Superman: "The Evil Three", in which he played a murderous "Southern Colonel"-type character, and "Panic in the Sky", in which he played the lead astronomer at the Metropolis Observatory. Other television programs on which Hale appeared include Crossroads, The Loretta Young Show, Brave Eagle, Schlitz Playhouse, The Joey Bishop Show, Our Miss Brooks and Walt Disney's Disneyland: "A Tribute to Joel Chandler Harris".




Death


Hale committed suicide on February 28, 1966, at the age of 74. He was found dead that evening in his room at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. Hale had taken his own life with a .38 caliber pistol, which was found near his body. He was interred at Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North Hollywood, California. His grave went unmarked for more than four decades, until a proper headstone was erected by donations from the "Dearly Departed" fan-based group in 2013; he is now honored with the inscription, "We Remembered You".
