Connection
Charles Lane is a Actor American born on 25 january 1869
For the prolific film actor (1905–2007), see Charles Lane (actor).
Charles Willis Lane (1869–1945) was an American stage and film actor, active from 1914 to 1929. Like many film performers born before 1900 Lane had extensive prior Broadway stage or regional theatrical experience stretching back to his youth in the 1890s.
Lane was born in Madison, Illinois, and can be seen in silent films usually as a silver-haired other man or confidant. Two of his best-known roles are Dr. Lanyon in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) and Dr. Angus McPhail in Sadie Thompson (1928).
Au cinéma, il apparaît entre 1914 et 1929 (après quoi il se retire), principalement donc durant la période du muet. Sur ses trente-sept films américains, seuls les trois derniers (tous sortis en 1929) sont parlants, dont The Canary Murder Case de Malcolm St. Clair et Frank Tuttle (avec William Powell, Louise Brooks et Jean Arthur).
Parmi ses autres films notables, citons Docteur Jekyll et M. Hyde de John S. Robertson (son quatrième film, 1920, avec John Barrymore dans le rôle-titre), Romola d'Henry King (1924, avec Lillian et Dorothy Gish) et Faiblesse humaine de Raoul Walsh (son dernier film muet, 1928, avec Gloria Swanson et Lionel Barrymore).
