Edmund Fessenden Cobb (June 23, 1892 – August 15, 1974) was an American actor who appeared in more than 620 films between 1912 and 1966.

Biography

Cobb was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the son of William Henry Cobb and Eddie (Edmundie) Ross.[1] His maternal grandfather, Edmund G. Ross,[2] was a newspaper editor, a governor of the New Mexico territory, a senator from Kansas, and a leader in the abolitionist movement in the United States.Шаблон:R

Despite his grandfather's efforts to lead Cobb into a career in politics, an initial effort in acting in a locally produced play turned him in that direction for a career. When he was 18, he worked for the St. Louis Motion Picture Company when it made a film in Albuquerque. Other roles with other companies followed.[3] One of his earliest roles was a bit part in the Essanay Studios film A Pueblo Legend (1912).[4]

Much of Cobb's work in films came after he signed with Universal in 1925. He continued to act after sound came into films, but in less prominent roles. His 64 serials were more than those of any other actor.[4]

Cobb died in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, in 1974 from a heart attack.[5]
