Arthur Gordon Smith (March 23, 1899 – February 24, 1973) was an American stage, film, and television actor, best known for playing supporting roles in Hollywood productions of the 1940s.
Smith was one of the victims of the Hollywood blacklist, which ended most of his distinguished film career in 1952. In 1957, he originated the role of Doc in the stage version of West Side Story. Smith only returned occasionally to the film business, for example in an uncredited part in The Hustler. He also worked in a number of top television productions before retiring in 1967.
He died, aged 73, in Long Island, New York, as the result of a heart attack brought on by excessive stress.
