Ralph Percy Lewis (October 8, 1872 – December 4, 1937) was an American actor of the silent film era.[1] He appeared in 160 films between 1912 and 1938. The character actor remains perhaps best-remembered for his role as abolitionist U.S. Representative Austin Stoneman in D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915). He was married to actress Vera Lewis. He was born in Englewood, Illinois and died in Los Angeles, California after being hit by a limousine driven by a chauffeur working for Jack L. Warner. Lewis also starred in one of the early Hollywood sound shorts, Gaunt, in 1931.[2]
