Trivia:

He specialized in portraying African-American characters, for which roles he would use makeup made out of burnt cork and sometimes hairpieces that made him look as if he had a fringe of white hair. His appearance in Charlie Chaplin's The Kid was off-type and without any of his usual makeup. See more »
