Raymond William Hatton (born July 7 1887 in Red Oak, Iowa, USA — died October 21 1971 in Palmdale, California) was a movie actor who appeared in almost five hundred movies, including a stint of being paired in 1920s comedies with Wallace Beery.
Although Hatton enjoyed a successful silent film career, sound helped to boost Hatton's career and making him best remembered as the tobacco-chewing, rip snorting Rusty Joslin in the Three Mesquiteers series.
Fans of the TV series Adventures of Superman remember him for playing eccentric characters in the episodes "Dagger Island" and "The Prince Albert Coat".
Hatton has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The son of a physician, Raymond Hatton entered films in 1909, eventually appearing in almost 500 other pictures. In early silents he formed a comedy team with big, burly Wallace Beery. He was best known as the tobacco-chewing, rip-snorting Rusty Joslin in the Three Mesquiteers series. He was also in the Rough Riders series and appeared as Johnny Mack Brown's sidekick as well. His last Western was, fittingly, Requiem for a Gunfighter (1965).
