Biography
Louis "L. M." Wells (February 5, 1862 – January 1, 1923) was an American actor of the silent film era. A tall, robust actor who was nicknamed "Daddy," L. M. appeared in 51 films between 1912 and 1922 — many of which were Universal westerns — and often was cast as a butler. L. M. was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended Miami University. Before becoming an actor, he dabbled as a journalist, poet, and short story writer. He was around 50 in 1912 when he appeared in So Near, Yet So Far, his first credited on-screen role. As a player for Universal, he appeared in several dozen films between 1912 and 1920. He died in Los Angeles on January 1, 1923, and was survived by his wife, Hallie Price.
