Biography

Born Robert V. Dunn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Richard P. Dunn and Melissa Dunn.

Career

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dunn started his career at Keystone Film Company production. He worked in a number of American motion-picture producer and director Mack Sennett's comedies, and lost one of his eyes in a stunt that went wrong (while falling into a barrel of water, his eye was caught by a floating matchstick on top) and had to wear a glass eye, which gave him a somewhat cross-eyed appearance. He later supported such comedians as Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields and Charley Chase, before his early death.
