He acted in films alongside Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd that were directed by Edwin S. Porter, D.W. Griffith.[4]
In 1893, Inslee married actress Belle Stokes while the two were performing with the Grand Opera House Company.[5] In 1898, she successfully sued Inslee for divorce, gaining the right to resume her maiden name.[6] In 1914, he married Violet June Ake (née Watson), sister of actress Barbara La Marr. Months later, she too divorced Inslee, on the grounds that he was "not only a peculiar man, but cruel in not letting her hug, caress and kiss him."[7][8]
