Dale Van Sickel

Dale Van Sickel (1907 - 1977)
(Note: As a professional stunt performer, Dale probably "died" in place of other actors, though I don't know any specific examples. Additionally, he probably died in several more of his generic "Thug" and "Henchman" bit parts, though the below films are the only ones I know definitely.)
