Herbert Heywood spent the bulk of his screen career answering to the nicknames "Pop" and "Old Timer." Already well into middle age when he began his film career in 1935, Heywood could be seen as mailmen, doormen, judges, convicts and railroad workers. Most of his films were made at Universal and Fox, two companies historically averse to crediting their minor players. Among the few roles played by Herbert Heywood to be given names rather than descriptions were Hot Cake Joe in Criminals of the Air (1937) and brakeman Arnold Kelly in King's Row (1941).
