Chuck is Dan Bradley's close pal. At Barbara Walton's urging, he auditions her for the role of understudy to her sister Margaret, just as Margaret's anger leads her to leave the show. Barbara's audition creates a possible replacement, although she later suffers stage fright and cannot go on.

Ed Guyac — Jim Thorpe – All-American (1951)

Ed Guyac is one of Jim Thorpe's roommates at Carlisle Indian Industrial School. The plot describes him as fast-talking, placing him among the students Jim lives with during his school years.
