Biography

A legendary figure in the world of Hollywood, this charismatic leading man was a staple of the silver screen during the late silent era and early days of talkies. His impressive body of work, characterized by his iconic pairings with the talented Janet Gaynor, comprises an astonishing 12 screen romances that spanned nearly a decade, from 1927 to 1934.

Despite his withdrawal from the film industry in the early 1940s, this beloved actor's impact on popular culture was far from over. In the 1950s, he re-emerged on television, taking on the role of Gale Storm's widower father in the highly acclaimed and enduring television series "My Little Margie", which premiered in 1952 and captivated audiences with its blend of humor, drama, and heartwarming storytelling.
