Una vez establecido en las series de Dick Tracy de Republic Pictures (a partir de 1937), por lo general fue elegido para películas de acción (como camionero , leñador , vaquero, etc.), a pesar de no tener el cuerpo musculoso habitual que acompañaba a estos roles. Sin embargo, tenía una mandíbula fuerte y decidida, lo que le daba una presencia heroica.
Byrd también protagonizó otras tres series: Blake of Scotland Yard (1937), SOS Coast Guard (1937) y The Vigilante (1947).
Vida posterior y muerte
Byrd continuó trabajando en películas de acción a fines de la década de 1940, y cuando la propiedad de Dick Tracy se convirtió en una serie de televisión en 1950, Byrd fue la elección obvia para repetir su papel más famoso. Los espectáculos se produjeron con presupuestos reducidos, con Byrd obligado a hacer frente a largas horas y escenas de acción extenuantes. El ritmo acelerado de la producción televisiva pasó factura a la salud del actor con exceso de trabajo, que sucumbió a un ataque cardíaco en Tarzana, California, el 18 de agosto de 1952 y está enterrado en Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale). Tenía 43 años.
Wikipedia in English
Born April 22, 1909
Death August 18, 1952
Was an American actor. He was most famous for playing the comic strip character Dick Tracy on screen, in periodicals, in movies, and on television.
Biography and career
Ralph Byrd, son of George and Edna May Byrd, was born in Dayton, Ohio. Before beginning to act in films, she sang and danced in theatrical productions. He served in the United States Army during World War II, having been inducted into service in San Pedro, California, in 1944.
Byrd was a good, versatile actor with the gift of delivering dialogue in a natural and accommodating way. His screen characters could be light-hearted and personable or tough and authoritarian, as the role required. She made her film debut with a small role in Red-Headed Woman in (1932).
Once established in Republic Pictures' Dick Tracy series (beginning in 1937), he was generally cast in action movies (as trucker, lumberjack, cowboy, etc.), despite not having the usual muscular body that accompanied these roles. However, he had a strong and determined jaw, which gave him a heroic presence.
Byrd also starred in three other series: Blake of Scotland Yard (1937), SOS Coast Guard (1937), and The Vigilante (1947).
Later life and death
Byrd continued working on action movies in the late 1940s, and when Dick Tracy's estate was turned into a television series in 1950, Byrd was the obvious choice to reprise his most famous role. The shows were produced on tight budgets, with Byrd forced to cope with long hours and grueling action scenes. The fast pace of television production took its toll on the overworked actor, who succumbed to a heart attack in Tarzana, California on August 18, 1952 and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale). He was 43 years old.

Dick Tracy's Dilemma - Dick Tracy investigates the theft of a fortune of fur coats, a possible insurance swindle and several murders, all linked to a huge thug who wears a hook in place of his right hand.
Dick Tracy's Dilemma (1947)
Director: John Rawlins
Writers: Robert Stephen Brode, Chester Gould
Stars: Ralph Byrd, Lyle Latell, Kay Christopher
Genre: Action, Crime, Drama, Family
Country: United States
Language: English
Also Known As: Dick Tracy vs. the Claw
Release Date: 20 May 1947 (USA)
Filming Location: RKO Studios - 780 N. Gower Street, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Reviews:
"Energetic little programmer in the Tracy series from RKO. Of course, the comic strip appeal came largely from the variety of human grotesques who challenged the square-jawed detective week after week. Here, Tracy battles "The Claw", Jack Lambert in excellent Neanderthal makeup with a claw where his hand ought to be. Something should be said in passing for director John Rawlins who had an obscure career, but still came up with the riveting and offbeat Rogue River (1950) as well as the superior B-Western Fort Defiance (1951). Note the fast-pacing and clever touches in this programmer, such as filming from behind the unplugged fan whose blades run down as Sightless (Jimmy Conlin) expires from The Claw.
There are a number of noir touches in the lighting and suspense, not surprising since the year is 1947. Also, catch the painting behind the bar. It's not in obvious focus, but there it is-- an almost totally nude woman up to something not quite clear. Now a saloon centerfold may be appropriate for a saloon, but in a kid's picture, it must have been someone's idea of a private joke. Be that as it may, Rawlins was an A-picture talent trapped in a B-movie career.
Byrd is excellent as Tracy. In fact the level of performances is better than expected for such a low budget. Speaking of budgets, note how much of the film appears shot from outside studio buildings with their rows of little windows (probably where the writers labored). Note too, how the final chase moves past a mock-up airplane and through what appears to be a prop storage area. Certainly, the cast didn't have to go on location for this one. All in all, it's a good, fast little 60 minutes of the Tracy series. And, oh yes, I don't know who played Tess Trueheart, but if I were the cop, I'd spend less time gum-shoeing and more time around the house."
