Der Schauspieler Joseph Crehan begann seine schauspielerische Laufbahn anfangs des 20. Jahrhunderts beim Theater und kam schliesslich 1914 zum Broadway, wo er grosse Erfolge feiern konnte.
 
Beim Film debütierte er 1916 im Stummfilm "Under Two Flags" (16), danach konzentrierte er sich jedoch wieder ausschliesslich auf das Theater.
 
Erst mit dem Tonfilm wiederbelebte er seine Filmlaufbahn und avancierte in kürzester Zeit zu einem begehrten Nebendarsteller, oftmals in Rollen autoritärer Figuren, u.a. verkörperte er Ulysses S. Grant in 8 Kino- und Fernsehfilmen.
 
Die 30er Jahre offerierten ihm zahlreiche Engagements in populären Produktionen und er agierte an der Seite der damaligen Stars in Filmen wie "Stolen Heaven" (31), "It Happened One Night" (34), "The Man with Two Faces" (34), "Black Fury" (35), "Front Page Woman" (35), "Frisco Kid" (35), "Anthony Adverse" (36), "Kid Galahad" (37), "Born Reckless" (37), "Big City" (37), "Bluebeard's Eight Wife" (38), "Gataway" (38), "Too Hot to Handle" (38), "You Can't Get Away with Murder" (39), "Union Pacific" (39), "Blackmail" (39), "The Roaring Twenties" (39) und "Geronimo" (39).
 
Die 40er Jahre waren erneut durch zahlreiche Engagements vor der Kamera geprägt, zu seinen Filmen dieser Jahre gehören "The Green Hornet" (40), "Brother Orchid" (40), "Here Comes Happiness" (41), "Life Begins for Andy Hardy" (41), "They Died with Their Boots On" (41), "Larceny, Inc." (42), "Gentleman Jim" (42), "Mission to Moscow" (43), "False Faces" (43), "Phantom Lady" (44), "The Adventures of Mark Twain" (44), "The Thin Man Goes Home" (45), "Brewster's Millions" (45), "Lady on a Train" (45), "Dick Tracy" (45), "Cinderella Jones" (46), "The Virginian" (46), "The Big Sleep" (46), "Plainsman and the Lady" (46), "Monsieur Verdoux" (47), "Killer McCoy" (47), "Relentless" (48), "The Babe Ruth Story" (48), "Blondie's Secret" (48), "Red Desert" (49) und "Malaya" (49).
 
In den 50er Jahren rückte das Fernsehen immer mehr in den Fokus seiner Karriere und er spielte fortan in Kino- als auch Fernsehproduktionen. Dazu zählen eine Episode der Serie "The Lone Ranger: Never Say Die" (50), "Watch the Birdie" (50), "The Family Secret" (51), "San Antone" (53), eine Episode der Serie "I Love Lucy: The Great Train Robbery" (55) und eine Episode der Serie "The Untouchables: The Dutch Schultz Story" (59).
 
Seine letzten filmischen Engagements entstanden in den 60er Jahren, darunter "Judgment at Nuremberg" (61), eine Episode der Serie "Perry Mason: The Case of the Elusive Element" (63) und "The Bounty Killer" (65).
