With the possibility of leading man status gone, Bickford sought character actor roles. Here he would find his greatest success, both in films and later in television. He would establish himself as a highly sought after, powerful character actor, whose screen appearances commanded attention throughout the remainder of his career. His burly frame and craggy, intense features, coupled with a gruff but powerful voice lent themselves to his being cast in a wide variety of roles in high quality productions. Most often he played lovable father figures, stern businessmen, heavies, ship captains or authority figures of some sort. During the 1940s he would be nominated three times for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award.
