Charles Meredith (August 27, 1894 – November 28, 1964)[1] was an American stage, film, and television actor, who also directed plays and taught in college drama departments.[2] His screen career came in two widely separated phases: as a leading man for silent films in the early 1920s,[3] and as a character actor for films and television from 1947 through 1964. He was a series regular on television shows Rocky Jones, Space Ranger[4] and The Court of Last Resort.[5]
