Joel Thomas Ashley (April 7, 1919 – April 7, 2000) was an American character actor of stage, screen and radio, known for his versatility—with stage roles ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Frankenstein's monster, Prince Potemkin, and "Tiny" Tyler (Heywood Broun's unschooled but quick-study star ballplayer)—and for a series of theatrical leading man assignments, opposite Mae West, Elisabeth Bergner, and, most notably, an extended period attached exclusively to Kay Francis.
