Born in the late 19th century, Brennen was an immensely popular character actor in the late 1930s and early 40s in particular. He was a master of his craft who was awarded three Academy Awards for best-supporting actor for his roles in 1936s Get It, 1938s Kentucky, and 1940s The Westerner.

Seeing as how Brannon was once considered to be a legend of the silver screen, it really begs the question - how is it possible for an actor to win three Academy Awards in a period of five years and then end up being all but forgotten about? Walter Brennan's acting career might have started out strong but owing to how he was typecast as a cantankerous or lovable grandpa in addition to his experiencing overexposure overshadowed his significant contributions to some of the best Golden Age Hollywood films.

But that's not the only reason why Brennan has faded into obscurity. After you've garnered the reputation of being an outspoken racist that's vehemently opposed to things like civil rights and for believing that everyone who doesn't see eye to eye with you must be a God and country hating communist, it's kind of hard to turn back.

Especially in his later years, Brennan's vocal, vitriolic views didn't exactly earn him many new fans. In fact, some people think that Walter Brennan just might be the most dangerous actor who ever lived. You see, guns and knives might be able to inflict a degree of damage, but lies, manipulation, and shameless hate can end up causing widespread carnage.

Join Facts verse as we reveal why Walter Brennan was quite possibly one of the most evil men to ever find success in Hollywood. Before we delve into his many misdeeds, we'll first take a few minutes to reflect on his early years and rise to fame.
