Arthur Hoyt
Arthur Hoyt was born on Mar 19, 1873 in USA. Arthur Hoyt's big-screen debut came with Bringing Home Father directed by William Worthington in 1917, strarring Pa Swazey. Arthur Hoyt is known for The Miracle of Morgan's Creek directed by Preston Sturges, Eddie Bracken stars as Norval Jones and Betty Hutton as Trudy Kockenlocker. The upcoming new movie Arthur Hoyt plays is The Great Moment which will be released on Sep 06, 1944.
Extremely prolific actor/director of the silent screen, on Broadway from 1905. Hoyt joined the acting fraternity through the recommendations of an uncle, who worked as dramatic editor for a Cleveland tabloid. Signed by theatrical producer George C. Tyler (1868-1946), he began on stage (earning $10 per week), playing up to ten different parts. He made his Hollywood debut in 1916 with Universal. Short, balding and usually bespectacled, he managed to forge a 30-year career by playing a succession of 'little men', be they mild-mannered professors, henpecked husbands or easily intimidated minor officials. Looking perpetually befuddled was Hoyt's stock-in-trade. He was particularly effective as Professor Summerlee in Le monde perdu (1925) (directed by his younger brother Harry O. Hoyt), as the confused motel owner of New York - Miami (1934) and as Mayor Tillinghast in Gouverneur malgré lui (1940). The better part of Hoyt's screen career, however, consisted of uncredited bits. For his last seven years in the business (1940-47), he was regularly employed as a member of Preston Sturges personal entourage of stock players at Paramount.
