Pat Corley Movies
Bulky, blustery American actor
Pat Corley came to films in the early '70s after several years of stage character parts. He appeared conspicously (it was hard for a man his size to be inconspicuous) in such films as
The Super Cops (1973),
The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977),
Coming Home (1978),
True Confessions (1982) and
Against All Odds (1984), often cast as an antagonistic athlete or a law enforcement officer. He also showed up on episodic television, co-starring as shifty baseball-team owner Ray Holtz on
Bay City Blues (1983) and bumbling police chief Walter Padgett on He's the Mayor (1986). Since 1989,
Pat Corley has been on duty as Phil, the affable bar owner on the
Candice Bergen sitcom Murphy Brown. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
