Robert Kenneth Christy (November 23, 1894 – July 23, 1962) was an American television, film, and radio character actor. The actor started his career on radio programs. From the early 1930s, he had a nearly three decade career on radio, with roles in such popular radio series as Little Orphan Annie, where he played Mr. Bonds, The Great Gildersleeve on which he was a regular as the chief of police, as well as portraying several dramatic roles on Suspense. A versatile artist, he was equally comfortable in serious minded programs, such as The Fifth Horseman, Gangbusters, Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy, and The Saint  as he was with comedy series like Amos 'n' Andy, A Day in the Life of Dennis Day, and The Alan Young Show. In the 1940s, he portrayed Inspector Danton on Mystery Is My Hobby.
