	Actors - Dudley Field Malone

Dudley Field Malone (1882 - 1950) was a lawyer and member of the Democratic Party who served as the collector of the Port of New York (1913-1917) and resigned to protest the failure of the Wilson Administration to advocate a Woman Suffrage Amendment. He served as Third Assistant Secretary for William Jennings Bryan when the Great Commoner was Secretary of State for Woodrow Wilson.

After that Malone was an international divorce lawyer. In 1925 Malone was one of the lawyers who defended John T. Scopes in the famous "Monkey Trial". Responding to Bryan's argument against admitting scientific testimony, Malone gave the greatest speech of the trial in defense of academic freedom. After the trial, Malone returned to his divorce business. Business declined, probably as a result of Malone's drinking problem, and in the 1930s Malone launched a new career as a dramatic actor, playing primarily bit roles most notably playing Winston Churchill in the film Mission to Moscow
(1943).
