A burly (6 ft. 4½ in., 215 Ibs.) ex-Holy Cross ('37) football end, O'Neil first learned his way around his father's tire company after college, did a four-year stint in the Navy, part of it skippering an LST in the Pacific.

After playing supporting roles-mostly heavies-on TV for two years, he returned to Hollywood in 1951 to act his first bad man in The Mob. As Fatso Judson in From Here to Eternity, he consolidated his role as villain, made his next half-dozen pictures to match his belligerent...
...size of Nebraska, at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. That is the way Yemen's despotic ruler, the Imam Saif el Islam Ahmed, wants it. He bars foreigners and does everything he can to keep out of print. But last week there was print without stint: there had been a revolt against the Imam of Yemen. Tough Iraq-trained Colonel Ahmed Thalaya, mindful of army coups in nearby Egypt and Syria, persuaded a bunch of soldiers to surround the royal palace of Al Urdhi at Taiz, a fortified stronghold where the Imam lives with his harem...
