Billy Nelson (actor)

Billy Nelson (1903–1973) was an American actor who appeared in over 80 films and television programs.

Nelson was born in New York City, and made his first film appearances in 1933 in Hal Roach comedy short subjects. His blue-collar appearance made him a likely choice for roles as cab drivers, bartenders, and gunmen. For instance in the five-year run of the Adventures of Superman television series, Nelson played five different thugs. His last role was in the 1961 Pocketful of Miracles.
