Bryant Washburn — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Bryant Washburn is a “heavy” in the Essanay eastern company; he is likewise “heavy” in popularity both in and out of films, even though he does portray the bad man in the plot, and that in a manner that would intimidate his own best friends.

But that’s just in films; out of them, he is a most docile and pleasant sort of person, guaranteed to return kindness with interest and to be a perfectly peaceable citizen, generally.

This is Washburn’s second year with Essanay and his work has been of a variety and quality to merit praise.

Previously he had much experience on the legitimate stage, having played several seasons with George Fawcett, with Miss Percy Haswell in stock in Toronto and starred for a season in The Wolf, besides being associated with a number of other successful productions.

“The End of the Feud,” “Chains” and “The Voice of Conscience” are late scores of his.
