- Bruce's brief stardom and fall from it is the subject of "Errol Flynn", a song by his daughter, Amanda McBroom (The Rose (1979)). Bruce costarred in three Errol Flynn films, The Sea Hawk (1940), Santa Fe Trail (1940), and Adventures of Don Juan (1948). Hence the lyric, "But he held my hand tight as he pointed his name out/Only four or five names down below Errol Flynn".
- Lean, haunted-looking American second lead, under contract to Warner Brothers from 1940. Best known for his role in The Mad Ghoul (1943), he found decent roles hard to come by after many of the bigger stars returned from wartime duties. He stuck around for several more years, appearing in B-movies for Universal before retiring in 1956.
- Father of Amanda McBroom
- Graduated from Northwestern University.
- Father-in-law of George Ball.
