}}Philip Mortimer Brown (April 30, 1916 – February 9, 2006) was an American actor.[1]

Early life

Brown was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1916. He majored in dramatics at Stanford University, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.[2]

Career

Brown played some of his first roles on stage when he join the Group Theatre in New York City.[3] The Group Theatre eventually closed, and many of its members relocated to Hollywood, where Brown helped found the Actors' Laboratory Theatre. He found his first cinema roles here, making his motion picture debut in Mitchell Leisen's 1941 war movie, I Wanted Wings.[4]

In 1946, he played Ernest Hemingway's protagonist Nick Adams in Robert Siodmak's version of The Killers, alongside William Conrad and Charles McGraw as the titular "killers".[5]

In 1948, he played Tom in Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie, at the Haymarket Theatre London, in a production directed by John Gielgud.[6]

His association with the Lab came back to haunt him later in the decade, when its members fell under the scrutiny of the House Un-American Activities Committee.[7] Although he was not a communist, Brown was blacklisted in 1952, and was eventually compelled to relocate with his family to the United Kingdom between 1953 and 1993.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}[8]

Overseas he was able to resume acting on stage, TV and films; he also directed for the stage and TV.[1][10] He was best known for his role as Luke Skywalker's uncle, Owen Lars, in Star Wars (1977).[7]

He returned to the United States in the 1990s and in later years made the rounds of autograph shows.[9]

Death

Phil Brown died in his sleep of pneumonia on February 9, 2006 at the age of 89,[10] two months before his 90th birthday.[11]

Legacy

His wife Ginny survives him with their son, two grandchildren and a great grandchild.[11]
