William A. Duncan — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

William A. Duncan is leading man and producer of the Diamond-S ranc hat Prescott. Ariz.; and he got there simply because he knew what he wanted to do and went ahead and did it.

By that you know he is Scotch. His birthplace was Dundee and the year 1885. He came to America when a grown boy and made himself at home in the amateur athletic field.

Twelve years ago, after a creditable career as student and athlete, he decided upon the stage as his life work, found an opening which he enlarged by virtue of his own merit and went the gamut, from melodrama actor to dramatic manager. It was three years ago that he decided to try film work and joined the Selig company.

His popularity in pictures testifies to a pleased triangle — the company, the public and Mr. Duncan. The dangers he has faced in feature roles are numberless.

He has been producing and acting in his own plays for a year.
