Albert Austin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Austin (13 December 1881 or 1885 - 17 August 1953) was an actor, film star, director and script writer, primarily in the days of silent movies. He was born in Birmingham, England. He was the brother of actor William Austin.
He worked for Charlie Chaplin's Stock Company and played supporting roles in many of Chaplin's films, and working as his assistant director. After the development of sound films, he moved into scriptwriting, chiefly of comedy short subjects. He had a brief, uncredited role in one of Chaplin's 'silent' comedies made in the sound era, City Lights (1931).
For a rare look at Albert without his comic mustache, see Mary Pickford's Suds (1920) where he co-stars as a customer leaving his shirt at her laundry.
