Wilbur Mack
Biography
Wilbur Mack was an American actor and vaudeville performer whose screen work ran from the silent era into the early 1960s. Born and raised in Binghamton, New York, he began acting at 16 with a repertory theater and later found success in vaudeville, writing dialogue for skits and lyrics and music for songs. He entered film acting in 1925 with Gold and Grit and also wrote and performed in the Vitaphone pantomime An Everyday Occurrence (1928). He made the move to talking pictures smoothly but was mostly cast in uncredited roles, appearing in thirteen films in 1930, twenty-four from 1931 to 1933, and fifty-five from 1934 to 1939, forty-five of them uncredited. His most notable credited role was in the 1936 crime drama The Crime Patrol. From 1940 to 1949 he had seventy-six film appearances, only seven credited, and he continued in film and television into 1962, his final part uncredited in Who's Got the Action? He died in 1964.
