American comedian, actor, and writer (1880-1946) known for his misanthropic persona, distinctive drawl, and skill as a juggler. Born William Claude Dukenfield, he began as a vaudeville juggler before becoming a stage comedian and film star. His film career spanned silents and sound, including The Dentist (1932), The Bank Dick (1940), and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941). His comic persona—the henpecked, drink-loving, child-hating cynic with a heart of gold—made him one of the most distinctive voices in American comedy.
