Arthur Housman

Arthur Housman

Arthur Housman (October 10, 1889–April 8, 1942) was an American actor in films from the silent days. Initially as a leading man, Housman later became known as Hollywood's most familiar comic drunkard in films of the 1930s, usually playing cameo parts in features but with better opportunities in short films. His best remembered roles were in several Laurel and Hardy films, notably the short film "Scram" (1932), and their feature "Our Relations" (1936). Housman's "drunk" act was continued off-screen as well as he had a drinking problem apparently in real life, and died of pneumonia aged 52.
