He played the same role in Noite de Paz (1930) and in its remake, If a Body Meets a Body (1945), which starred The Three Stooges.

Character actor who built up a hefty resume of over 200 movies, including silents and talkies, even directing a few. He found a comfortable niche in broad, vivid comedy roles, especially that of the bumbling, bungling, not particularly bright detective (in Cavadoras de Ouro (1933) he even played an actor playing a bumbling, bungling, not particularly bright detective!). He livened up everything from The Three Stooges two-reel shorts to "The Green Archer" and "Superman" serials. He even inspired cartoon characters.

Sons: Robert Miller Kelsey and William Austin Kelsey.
