Biography
Lew Cody was an American actor of the stage and screen whose work stretched across the silent era into the first years of sound. Born in 1884, he grew up in Berlin, New Hampshire, where his father ran a drug store. He briefly studied medicine at McGill University before giving up that plan and taking a place with a stock theater troupe in North Carolina. His New York stage debut came in Pierre of the Plains, after which he moved west to Los Angeles, where he took minor parts in films for Thomas Ince at Balboa Film Studios. He earned a reputation in the late 1910s for male vamp roles, among them Don't Change Your Husband, and amassed at least 99 screen credits between 1914 and 1934. He died in 1934.
