William Orlamond(1867-1957)
- Actor
Born into a family of touring actors, Orlamond went to America at the
end of the 19th century and started playing comedy roles onscreen for
the Lubin Company in Philadelphia in 1912. Toward the end of the decade
he joined with Metro and stayed with the company for many years. With
the advent of sound, his career was untouched although he was becoming
quite elderly and eventually retired from the screen in 1937.
Orlamond's brother Fritz and sister Ruth also appeared in American
silent films, as did his wife, the former Madge Bertrand.
