Charlie Hall

Born: 19 August 1899, Birmingham, England

Most notable as a foil for Laurel and Hardy in many of their films.

Charlie Hall stood at 5'3" tall. After working as a carpenter for a few years in England, Charlie joined Fred Karno's troup presumably as a stage technician, but did not leave Britain when the company toured America. He chanced upon acting when visiting his sister in the States in 1915 where he met comedian Bobby Dunn.
