Biography

[edit | edit source]

Son of Marion Emanuel Goodman Sr. and Lucille Jeantelle-Viterbo, Castle was born in Beaumont, Texas. He went to the University of Texas where he was roommates with Jack Wrather.[1] He resembled Clark Gable[2] and started his acting career as a stage actor, then moved to films, signing with Paramount Pictures, however, World War II stalled his career.[1] Castle was drafted into the Army Air Force, during which he made training films for the First Motion Picture Unit.[3] Upon returning to Hollywood, he found many of his fans had turned to Alan Ladd.[1] He bumped into Wrather again who had become bored with the oil business and Wrather decided to set up as a producer, making The Guilty (1947) starring Castle and Wrather's new wife Bonita Granville.[1] Castle eventually became a television producer for Wrather's Lassie television program. He maintained a home in Palm Springs, California.[4] After a traffic accident[citation needed]in 1966, Castle died of a medication overdose, aged 48.[5]
