Charles Ogle — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Charles Ogle is six feet, two and one-half inches and is the tall man of the Edison studio. The screen does not show him to be that tall and Mr. Ogle himself admits that a personal meeting with anybody who has seen him on the screen, is always a surprise to the other person.

Character work is Mr. Ogle’s special line and he says his five years in Edison stock was preceded by two months at the Biograph studio.

He was educated for the ministry, took up law and practiced three years in Hammond, Indiana, and then went on the stage and remained there twenty-seven years, mostly in the service of the Shuberts, and Klaw and Erlanger.

He played in Clyde Fitch’s Blue Mouse company and that was his farewell appearance. After that Biograph and then the Edison company.

Mr. Ogle has black eyes, black hair that is somewhat grayed, and a throaty voice.
