Ben Hall (American actor)

Benjamin Joseph Hall (March 18, 1899 – May 20, 1985) was an American actor who started performing as a boy and worked for three and a half decades, mainly in small parts.

After a handful of movies, his family moved to Weehawken, New Jersey, and in 1918 Ben took work as a bank clerk in Manhattan.

[1] But by 1920, Ben and his mother had moved to Los Angeles (where they were joined later by his younger brother George Jr.).

[2] Hall worked as a property man for the studios for a time,[3] but eventually began to get small roles and was eking out a living as an actor again by 1926.

Most memorable among these bit roles was probably that of the barber who slicks down and perfumes Wyatt Earp's hair in My Darling Clementine (1946).
