Charles Meredith

Born: 1894-08-27

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charles Meredith (August 27, 1894 – November 28, 1964) was an American film and television actor. Meredith was born in Knoxville, Pennsylvania. He was a popular silent film leading man and played opposite such actresses as Blanche Sweet, Mary Miles Minter, Florence Vidor, and others in romantic drama and comedy films. In 1924, he left his film career for work on the stage. He returned to film in 1947 where he played a number of small character roles. Toward the end of his career, he turned to television as well, notably as Secretary Drake in the Rocky Jones, Space Ranger (1954) series. He also appeared in three episodes of The Lone Ranger, each time as a doctor. He died, aged 70 in 1964, in Los Angeles, California.
