Charles Le Moyne (27 June 1880 – 13 September 1956) was an American motion picture actor of the silent era. He appeared in 73 films between 1915 and 1937.
He was born Carl Jonathan Lemon[1] at Marshall, Illinois, on the 27th of June, 1880, the son of Charles and Clara (née Martin) Lemon. Charles Lemon was a stonemason who later moved his family to Los Angeles where he worked as a railroad conductor.[2][3] Le Moyne was a favorite of actor/director Harry Carey, who once said that if Le Moyne was ever not available to play the heavy in one of his films, he would rather postpone production until the actor became free.[4] Le Moyne died in Hollywood, California on September 13, 1956 and was survived by two daughters and a son.[5]
