Lynn was one of the old grubby prospector sidekicks who supplied the comic relief in a number of Republic Westerns through the forties and early fifties. He also appeared with the Three Stooges in 'The Yokes on Me (1944)'. His last two films were of a religious nature with 'A Man Called Peter (1955)' and 'The Ten Commandments (1956)'.

  • Trivia
    "Variety" was a tad bit wrong regarding how many "films" Emmett Lynn appeared in....he was in 141 theatrical movies and 25 TV episodes. Perhaps "Variety" can provide the titles of the over-336 missing "films".
