A somewhat chubby but menacing Guy Way played a frequent heavy in movies and television. During the 1960s you could catch him on numerous shows from Mission Impossible to The Man From Uncle. Once in a while he did get a few lines as with The Sting in 1973, where he takes Robert Redford at the roulette table. In 1967, as a prison guard he addresses Robert Blake as he is about to be hung in the classic In Cold Blood. And he was a cop that helps chase Kevin McCarthy back in the 50s with Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.
