Careers this long are unusual: James Anderson is an American actor who has spent far more time working than being talked about. For much of the audience, James Anderson is Bob Ewell from 'To Kill a Mockingbird', whatever else the credits say. He also turns up in 'Take the Money and Run'. Whatever else appears, comedy runs right through the filmography. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either.

James Ottie Anderson, Jr. (July 13, 1921 – September 14, 1969), sometimes billed as Kyle James, was an American television and film actor of the 1950s and 1960s. He is probably best known for his role as Robert E. Lee "Bob" Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962).
He made over 120 appearances, mostly in television and several films between 1941 and 1969. He made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, including the role of murder victim Frank Anderson in the 1958 episode, "The Case of the Pint-Sized Client," and murder victim Stanley Piper in the 1960 episode, "The Case of the Ill-Fated Faker." He appeared in a number of westerns throughout his career, often playing a gun-for-hire or outlaw. He died of a heart attack on September 14, 1969. Two films he appeared in The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1969) and Little Big Man (1970) were released posthumously.James Anderson, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
