Carl Stockdale also known as Carlton Stockdale (February 19, 1874 – March 15, 1953) was one of the longest-working Hollywood veteran actors, with a career dating from the early 1910s. He also made the difficult transition from silent films to talkies.
Stockdale was born on February 19, 1874,[1] in Worthington, Minnesota, graduated from Minneapolis Central High School, and attended the University of North Dakota.[2]
Before he began working with films, Stockdale was a property man with a repertory theatrical company headed by his brother. He went on to act on stage in repertory theater and in vaudeville.[2]
Stockdale was in Hollywood as early as 1913 with a small role in Gilbert M. Anderson's Broncho Billy's Last Deed.[citation needed] He worked with that film franchise for two years before joining D. W. Griffith's film company.[2] He remained busy into the 1940s. His last film was released in 1943.
