Sam Bernard (June 5, 1863 in Birmingham, England - May 16, 1927) was a renowned stage, film and vaudeville star. He also performed comic opera and burlesque.
At the beginning of his acting career in vaudeville, Bernard went by Samuel Barnet, which was his given name; he changed his surname to 'Bernard' as he considered it "more ethnic." He began to explore acting in motion pictures in 1915, after he was signed to the Triangle Film Corporation.
Bernard was one of the first stars to collaborate with Weber & Fields, and was also reported to have performed with the historic Lucier Comedy Company.
