We certainly enjoy Ward Bond in his many roles, both in John Wayne films and others as well.
I know I've mentioned it before, but one role that was unusual was Judge Garvey in Tall in the Saddle. Usually Ward Bond is one of the Duke's buddies, but in this one he was actually a bad guy.
Until we got way more familiar with John Wayne movies, we didn't realize he was also in It's A Wonderful Life, as Bert the cop.

shirley,
WELCOME to the John Wayne Message Board! In addition to JW, we also talk about his many co-stars, as you can see, and Ward Bond is a favorite.
So . . . do you have any good stories to share? Were you closely acquainted with this cousin?
We look forward to "seeing" you again around here.

JohnTChance,
WELCOME to the John Wayne Message Board, the place to learn anything you could possibly want to know about one of the best actors to ever grace the silver screen!
And as you have seen, there is much to be gleaned about his co-stars as well. Check out the other threads (you'll be reading for DAYS 
!). In addition to those with whom the Duke starred, there's a lot of interesting information about some of the men who directed him, too.

PS. My wife has made me watch It's a Wonderful Life a couple million times also, although since we also discovered Ward Bond in it, it's getting better all the time. 
Some other fairly well known movies he was in would be -
The Maltese Falcon (1941) - Det. Tom Polhaus
The Santa Fe Trail (1940) - Townley (abolitionist)
Gone with the Wind (1939) - Tom (Yankee captain)
Bringing Up Baby (1938) - (uncredited) Motorcycle Cop at jail
Topper (1937) - (uncredited) Taxi Cab Driver
Now we'll have to watch some of those to look for Ward Bond 
.
