Cary Grant's early career as a studio player influenced his later film roles.

Abstract

Before he became a bona fide star in the late 1930s, Cary Grant spent a number of years as a studio player, often miscast in forgettable films – but as he experimented with roles to find what worked best, the contours of the legend we know were gradually being etched.
