Irving Bacon (September 6, 1893 – February 5, 1965) was an American character actor who appeared in over 400 films. Bacon was sometimes cast in films directed by his brother Lloyd Bacon such as The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938). In the late 1930s and early 1940s, he played the weary postman Mr. Crumb in Columbia Pictures' Blondie film series. One of his bigger roles was as a similarly flustered postman in the thriller Cause for Alarm! in 1952. During the 1950s, Bacon worked steadily in a number of television sitcoms.
