Serious, firm-jawed American support actor on Broadway from the 30s
through the 50s who later entered films and TV, an unsympathaetic comic
foil in 60s Disney's film fluff. His best known role was as the
ever-suspicious Detective Brennan on the sitcom My Favorite Martian (1963).
He was survived by his mother Hortense Baum Hewitt, and his brother, Robert W. Hewitt.
Bears a strong resemblance to well-known character actor James Gregory.
