Part Cherokee Indian. Brought up in an orphanage, he worked as a lumberjack, cowboy, and railway porter before being hired by D.W. Griffith in 1915 as a combination script clerk, stuntman, and actor, on such productions as THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), INTOLERANCE (1916), and ORPHANS OF THE STORM (1922). After playing many roles as a simple outdoor youth, he rose to stardom, playing tough romantic leads throughout the 20s. His parts diminished in importance in later years, but he continued playing character roles into the 50s. Later worked for a circus. In all, he appeared in some 200 films.
