Steve Brodie (born November 21, 1919 in El Dorado, Kansas; died January 9, 1992 in West Hills, California) was an American movie and television actor, born John Stevenson.
He chose the screen name of Steve Brodie (a man who allegedly jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in the 1880s). Brodie survived the jump and " taking a Brodie" entered the lexicon for bridge jumpers.
Most of his film work was from the mid 1940s to the early 1950s working at MGM, RKO and Republic Pictures appearing mostly in westerns and B-movies. He mainly played supporting roles in films such as the film noir Out of the Past (1947) and the classic crime film Armored Car Robbery (1950), although he did have the starring role in Desperate (1947). He later appeared with Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii (1961) and Roustabout (1964). Starting from the mid 1950s he mostly appeared on television, including three episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
He was married to actress Lois Andrews in 1946.
He died of cancer in West Hills, California in 1992.
