Biography

Born Albert Washington Hunn in 1883 in Illinois.[1] He starred in around thirty short films for Keystone Studios from 1913, most notably as Keystone Cops. He noticed the smell of smoke in the air, which turned out to be the start of a fire at the Keystone studios lab, and alerted the authorities which meant the majority of negatives for Keystone films were saved. By 1930 he was no longer acting and worked as tile setter and brick layer in Fresno, California.[2]
