Don Barclay

Born: 26 December 1892, Ashland, Oregon, USA
Died: 16 October 1975, Palm Springs, California, USA

Apart from his obvious comic actor abilities, Don Barclay was also a great caricaturist. His film career started in the silent days and ended with a supporting role in Mary Poppins (1964).

    I adore the insane comedy of the marvellous DON BARCLAY! Try watching any of his Hal Roach films and you will see that I am right. "MIXED NUTS" and "BEAUTY AND THE BUS" (which features the wonderful Thelma Todd) are two great examples .
