Edward Hearn
Biography
Edward Hearn was an American actor whose screen career began in 1915 and lasted into the 1950s, first in silent films as a juvenile lead and occasional leading man, then as a mostly unbilled character actor. Born in Dayton, Washington, he gained his first known credit in the short The Fool's Heart (1915) and his first feature in Her Bitter Cup (1916). After working for Bluebird Photoplays and FBO, he alternated leading roles with second leads, and in 1925 he was first-billed in The Man Without a Country. He also appeared unbilled in Buster Keaton's The General. In the sound era Hearn worked for nearly every studio, often without screen credit, and kept a steady run of film appearances until the mid-1940s. He returned to pictures in 1950 and closed his career with unbilled roles in the 1955 films This Island Earth and Tall Man Riding, along with television roles in Cowboy G-Men and The Lone Ranger.
