Leo White (November 10, 1882 – September 20, 1948) was a stage performer who appeared as a character actor in many Charlie Chaplin films. Born in Germany, he grew up in England where he started his stage career. He was brought to the United States under the aegis of Daniel Frohman, a well known Broadway producer. He started his film career in 1911 and in 1913 moved to the Essanay Studios. In 1915, he began appearing in Chaplin's comedies and continued through Chaplin's Mutual Film comedies. His last appearance in a Chaplin film was a small role in ''The Great Dictator'', released in 1940.〔(allrovi bio on Leo White, by Hal Erickson )〕 White also acted in and directed ''Triple Trouble'', Essanay's last Chaplin release. Chaplin himself acknowledged ''Triple Trouble'' in his autobiography but did not actually participate in its production. (White filmed new scenes around existing footage of Chaplin.) White typically played dapper, continental villains or noblemen in films, and this typecast him for the rest of his screen career. Well into the 1940s, he was still playing excitable Frenchmen in short subjects and feature films. Before his death in 1948, White had appeared in over 400 films. He is buried in Glendale, California's Grand View Memorial Park Cemetery. ==Selected filmography== * ''Casablanca'' (1942) * ''Yankee Doodle Dandy'' (1942) * ''The Great Dictator'' (1940) * ''Penrod and Sam'' (1937) * ''Times Square Playboy'' (1936) * ''Jail Birds of Paradise'' (1934) * ''The Jade Box'' (1930) * ''Smilin' Guns'' (1929) * ''How to Handle Women'' (1928) * ''The Ladybird'' (1927) * ''On the Front Page'' (1926) * ''The Blonde Saint'' (1926) * ''The Far Cry'' (1926) * ''The Tower of Lies'' (1925) * ''Ben-Hur'' (1925) * ''The Lady Who Lied'' (1925) * ''Wolves of the North'' (1924) * ''The Marriage Maker'' (1923) * ''The Rustle of Silk'' (1923) * ''Vanity Fair'' (1923) * ''Blood and Sand'' (1922) * ''The Isle of Love'' (1922) * ''Married to Order'' (1920) * ''Pals and Pugs'' (1920) * ''Mrs. Temple's Telegram'' (1920) * ''Fists and Fodder'' (1920) * ''The Devil's Pass Key'' (1920) * ''The Hawk's Trail'' (1919) * ''He's in Again'' (1918) * ''The Brazen Beauty'' (1918) * ''The Straight and Narrow'' (1918) * ''The Handy Man'' (1918) * ''The Messenger'' (1918) * ''The Scholar'' (1918) * ''Triple Trouble'' (1918) * ''The Orderly'' (1918) * ''His Day Out'' (1918) * ''The Rogue'' (1918) * ''Bright and Early'' (1918) * ''The Stranger'' (1918) * ''The Slave'' (1917) * ''The Pest'' (1917) * ''Max Wants a Divorce'' (1917) * ''The Hobo'' (1917) * ''The Candy Kid'' (1917) * ''The Chief Cook'' (1917) * ''The Fly Cop'' (1917) * ''The Goat'' (1917) * ''The Millionaire'' (1917) * ''The Villain'' (1917) * ''Cupid's Rival'' (1917) * ''Dough Nuts'' (1917) * ''The Hero'' (1917) * ''Back Stage'' (1917) * ''The Vagabond'' (1916) * ''The Fireman'' (1916) * ''Burlesque on Carmen'' (1916) * ''Police'' (1916) * ''A Night in the Show'' (1915) * ''Shanghaied'' (1915) * ''The Bank'' (1915) * ''A Woman'' (1915) * ''Work'' (1915) * ''The Tramp'' (1915) * ''A Jitney Elopement'' (1915) * ''The Champion'' (1915) * ''A Night Out'' (1915) * ''His New Job'' (1915) * ''In the Park'' (1915) * ''Fatty's Faithful Fido'' (1915) * ''Leading Lizzie Astray'' (1914) * ''One Wonderful Night'' (1914) * ''In and Out'' (1914) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leo White」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
