Ned Sparks

If you are Christian take me off your Friends list RIGHT NOW.

About Me

I was born in 1883 in Canada and I died in L.A. on April 2, 1957 of an intestinal blockage, which should surprise no one who has ever visited Los Angeles.
I played in nearly 100 movies from 1915 on into the 'forties.
My sarcastic, deadpan character and distinctive nasal monotone delivery became so instantly identifiable that I was also parodied in many cartoons of that era.
I had Lloyd's of London issue an insurance policy for $10,000 against damage to my professional reputation should anyone ever get a photograph of me smiling.
