Jack Standing
Jack Standing (10 February 1886 – 25 October 1917) was an English born American actor. Biography The son of stage actor Herbert Standing and brother of Wyndham Standing (1880–1963), who also was a famous actor in the early days of film, Jack Standing first appeared in Broadway musicals such as '' The Belle of New York'' and ''Florodora'' before he went to the Biograph Company in 1909. Because he was a handsome young man, he was quickly offered many roles and signed a contract with Sigmund Lubin in 1911. Like many others from the silent film, Standing was asked to play quite everything from passionate lovers to villains or old men. In 1915, he told the ''Moving Picture World'' magazine, "Spare me from being a one-type actor!" He appeared in more than fifty films. An incomplete print of 1915 Mary Pickford vehicle '' Fanchon the Cricket'', in which Standing co-starred, has recently been found.
