Sidney Toler (1874–1947)


The son of Colonel H.G. Toler, breeder of trotting horses, Sidney acted on stage by the time he was seven years old. He was an established star of the theatre by the 1890's, long before his career in motion pictures. He was also active as a playwright and had a good enough voice to be cast as a lead baritone with an operatic stock company at the Orpheum Theatre in New York... See full bio »
