Born in Birmingham, England, Charlie Hall was a member of the famed Fred Karno vaudeville troupe, which gave the world Charles Chaplin and Stan Laurel. Hall arrived in the U.S. in the early 1920s, after Chaplin and Laurel, and entered films playing a foil for many of the era's top comics. He is best remembered, though, as the short, stocky, black-haired, bad-tempered nemesis to Laurel and Oliver Hardy in scores of their films, often playing a husband jealous of Hardy's attentions to his wife, a competing store owner, or just a bystander who winds up in an altercation with the duo.
