Biography

Leo White, born Leo Weiss, grew up in England and began his stage career there. He moved to the United States in 1910 and started working in silent films the following year. Typically cast as a dapper continental villain or a nobleman, White frequently played uncredited bit parts and appeared as a character actor in many Charlie Chaplin productions. Multiple online sites indicate that he was born in 1882. However, his grave marker clearly presents the birth year as 1873.
