Walter Long
Biography
Walter Long was a character actor of the American stage and screen who appeared in nearly 200 productions between 1909 and the late 1940s. Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, he acted on stage for years before making his motion picture debut in 1909 with Broncho Billy Anderson, then briefly returned to the theater after finding film work uncongenial. Theatergoers came to know him as a popular hissed-at villain, and he appeared in D. W. Griffith's early films and in later, more elaborate Griffith productions such as Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages (1916). He was usually cast as crooks, tough guys and comic villains, among them Miles Archer in The Maltese Falcon (1931) and supporting parts opposite Rudolph Valentino in The Sheik (1921). He also turned up in four Laurel and Hardy shorts, including Going Bye-Bye! (1934), and performed on Broadway into the 1940s.
