Jack Howard Richardson (November 18, 1870 – June 12, 1960) was an American actor.
Background
Born in New York City, he was signed to a contract in silent films in 1911 by the American Company, working there for several years. Richardson appeared in more than 560 films before his death in Santa Barbara, California.
In 1911, Richardson travelled with the American Company to film westerns under the company's Flying A banner. Richardson was among a troupe of actors who were based at La Mesa who would produce an average of two western films a week. There, Richardson was regularly as a "heavy" or in villain roles.[1] Flying A left La Mesa in 1912,[1] but Richardson would continue to be cast as a villain in cowboy roles, such as "Scarface Jordan", in the 1925 feature Ridin' Wild.[2]
His credits are often confused with his contemporary John J. Richardson (AKA Jack Richardson).
