Characters played by John Maxwell

Dr. Swanson — The Asphalt Jungle (1950)

Dr. Swanson is the trusted but illicit doctor summoned after Louis Ciavelli is shot in the abdomen. His medical involvement connects him to Gus Minissi's attempt to treat the wounded safecracker outside a hospital, although the summary gives no additional personal history or actions for him.

Bud Crocker — The Prowler (1951)

Bud Crocker is Webb Garwood's police partner and later his former partner. Unlike the false testimony given by Webb and Susan Gilvray, he knows that they knew each other before the killing. He ultimately blocks Webb's escape from Calico and helps bring the police pursuit to its final stage.

Edward Ryan — Francis in the Haunted House (1956)

Minor police officer or suspect involved in the murder investigation.

Judge — The Bigamist (1953)

Presides over Harry's bigamy trial. He notes that after serving his sentence Harry must support both women and remarks that the question is which woman will take him back.

'Pinkie' Taylor, FAA inspector — Flying Cadets (1941)

Pinkie Taylor is a government inspector present at the flight school. His inspection matters because the school's prospective aircraft-design contract is in jeopardy, adding pressure on Rocky as he considers leaving to fight in China.

Prison Doctor — Murder in the Big House (1942)

The prison doctor examines Malloy's displayed body after the warden claims lightning caused his death. He confirms that Malloy died by electricity, a finding that supports the apparent explanation but does not reveal the concealed use of electrified headphones. His confirmation becomes part of the evidence surrounding Bert and Gladys's investigation.
