Dick Hogan
Dick Hogan (1917-1995) was an American film actor, primarily active in the 1940s. He is best known for his role in Alfred Hitchcock's *Shadow of a Doubt* (1943), where he played Charlie Newton, a brief but memorable role as the eponymous and ill-fated cousin of the protagonist.
His other notable appearances include William A. Wellman's *The Ox-Bow Incident* (1943) and several low-budget film noirs or mysteries such as *The Suspect* (1944) and *Pillow of Death* (1945). Hogan was often cast in roles as naive, innocent, or idealistic young men, sometimes victims of adverse circumstances. His slender figure and youthful face made him suitable for 'good guy' or romantic interest roles. Despite a relatively brief career and never achieving top-billing protagonist status, he left his mark in important films of the period.
