Biography
James Farley (January 8, 1882 – October 12, 1947) was an American character actor of the silent and sound film eras. Born in Waldron, Arkansas, on January 8, 1882, Farley made his film debut in the 1916 silent film Sins of Her Parent. During his thirty-year film career he appeared in over 200 films and film shorts, including over 175 feature films. Farley worked right up until his death; his final film was released after his death, 1948's The Man from Texas. The production of the film ended in early June 1947, and Farley died shortly after, on October 12, 1947, in Pacoima, California.
