André Cheron

André Cheron was a French-born American character actor who worked in the late silent and early sound eras, appearing in more than 100 films over a 16-year career. Born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, he moved to the United States and began working in films in 1925, taking his stage name from his mother's maiden name. He made his screen debut in Arthur Rosson's silent melodrama The Fighting Demon, and most of his parts were small, though he was occasionally given a featured role. His credits included Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings (1927), Emma (1932), the 1935 adaptation of Anna Karenina, Wife vs. Secretary (1936) and Café Metropole (1937). His last role was in the Bob Hope comedy Louisiana Purchase (1941). He died in 1952.
