THEM! 1954 CAST





Olin Howland as Jensen

Olin Howland had a career in movies that stretched from the 20s through the 50s. After a few attempts at films in the silent era, Olin began appearing regularly in the sound pictures of the 30s.

His roles were usually in mysteries and dramas, and he became a Western character actor in the 40s with Republic. He also worked in television from 1956-58 in the adventure "Circus Boy" (1956).

Appears as surplus Jenny airplane dealer in The Spirit of St. Louis (1957). In real life, as a young man, he learned to fly airplanes from the Wright Brothers. He and Irving Bacon are the only actors to appear in both the 1937 and 1954 versions of A Star Is Born.

Two of his very last roles were as eccentric old drunks in a pair of science fiction classics: Them! (1954) and The Blob (1958).





Graham question the drunks.

GRAHAM: Look, where were you going when you were arrested?

DRUNK 1: I don't know. I don't even know where I was coming from.

GRAHAM: And how about you?

DRUNK 2: I don't know either.

DRUNK 1: You know as I said before Professor, I'm in favor of the informal type of social life.

DRUNK 2: I disagree with you. I look my best in black tie and tails.

GRAHAM: Allright, both of you, knock it off, will you!

DRUNK 1: Yea, sure.


GRAHAM: Now look, Miss . . .

BLONDE: All I did was go through a red light.

GRAHAM: At sixty miles an hour, was something chasing you?

BLONDE: No, I was just in a hurry to get home.

PETERSON: Where from, Miss?

BLONDE: Well, I had spent the night with a sick friend. And uh . . . well I would rather not mention any names, he's married.

GRAHAM: Okay, you can go.

BLONDE: Thank you.

GRAHAM: I'm through with these fellas too. Let them go back to the tank and sleep it off.

OFFICER: Allright, let's go.

DRUNK 2 (sarcastic): With pleasure, sir.

GRAHAM: You said there were three drunks?

RYAN: The other one is in the Alcoholic Ward at the hospital, practically a permanent resident over there.

GRAHAM: Well let's go talk to him too.


Graham, Peterson, and Kibbee arrive at the hospital.

ALCOHOLIC WARD DOCTOR: He sneaked out of here saturday afternoon, back in at five this morning.You can talk to him, but I don't know what you expect to find out, he won't cooperate.


An Alcoholic Ward patient, named Harry, stops them.

HARRY: Hey Admiral, are we going to be drafted?

KIBBEE: No sir,no.

ALCOHOLIC WARD DOCTOR: Behave yourself, Harry.

HARRY: Yes sir.

ALCOHOLIC WARD DOCTOR: This is the man. Mind your manners, Jensen. If he gives you any trouble, I'll be right outside the Ward.

PETERSON: He won't give us any trouble.

GRAHAM: Sure, sure, of course. Tell me something, you didn't see anything unusual yesterday or this morning, did you?

JENSEN: Oh nothing unusual, same as always. Oh they're gone now. I did see some little airplanes this morning. They didn't seem big enough to get into.

PETERSON: Big enough for who to get into?

JENSEN: The ants. I'd like to get out of here! But I ain't going to join the Army to do it! You can't make me, there's laws you know!


GRAHAM: Yea we know there's laws, Jensen, what kind of ants did you see?
