Comic actor who started his career at Keystone. Lost one of his eyes in
a stunt that went wrong (while falling into a barrel of water, his eye
was caught by a floating matchstick on top) and took to wearing a glass
eye, which gave him a somewhat cross-eyed appearance. He later
supported such comedians as
Harold Lloyd,
W.C. Fields,
Stan Laurel and
Oliver Hardy before his early death.
