Frank Cady (1907-2005) was an American character actor, celebrated for portraying quintessential small-town figures. His film career often saw him embodying small-town shopkeepers, local law enforcement officers, or reassuring but sometimes nosy neighbors, characterized by a good-natured demeanor and a distinctive tone of voice.

Among his most notable big-screen appearances were secondary but impactful roles in film noirs like John Huston's *The Asphalt Jungle* (1950), the science fiction film *When Worlds Collide* (1951), the drama *The Bad Seed* (1956), and the romantic comedy *Pillow Talk* (1959). Although his greater fame came from iconic television roles like Sam Drucker, his extensive filmography demonstrates his versatility and reliability as a supporting actor.
