SCOTT BRADY

'Scott Brady' (September 13, 1924 – April 16, 1985) was an American film actor.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was the younger brother to a fellow actor, Lawrence Tierney, Brady began his film career after taking drama classes after World War II (where he was a Navy boxing champ). The actor specialized in tough-guy roles in films like ''He Walked by Night'' and ''Johnny Guitar''. He appeared regularly on the 1970s cop show, ''Police Story''. His last film role was in the 1984 movie ''Gremlins''. He is often confused with his brother, Tierney, whom he resembles. Brady was a lumberjack early in life before taking up acting.
He was originally offered the role of Archie Bunker in All in the Family in 1971 and turned it down. He played Shirley Feeney's father Jack Feeney in episode 32 of Laverne & Shirley which aired 2/15/1977.
Brady died from pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 60. Other sources have the cause as emphysema.
