In my investigations I was not concerned with anything other than corruption in the Teamsters Union, and all fees paid to me by the Teamsters were for work done for, and only for, the Teamsters.

...stage role that launched his career. Then on to 1939's Of Mice and Men, wherein Meredith, opposite the immortal Lon Chaney Jr., fields a lot of questions about rabbits. Finish with the languorous, creepy Hollywood pic The Day of the Locust (1975), with Meredith, Karen Black and Donald Sutherland as a fellow actually named Homer Simpson. It earned Meredith his first Best Supporting Actor nomination (they would stiff him twice...
