Long debuted in films in 1909 with Broncho Billy Anderson. He disliked the working conditions for making films, so after that project he returned to acting on stage.[3]

He appeared in many D. W. Griffith films, notably The Birth of a Nation (1915), where he appeared as Gus, an African American, in blackface make-up,[4] and Intolerance (1916). He also supported Rudolph Valentino in the films The Sheik, Moran of the Lady Letty, and Blood and Sand. He later appeared as a comic villain in four Laurel and Hardy films during the early 1930s.

On Broadway, Long appeared in Adonis (1899),[5] Leave It to Me! (1938), Very Warm for May (1939), Boys and Girls Together (1940),[6] Follow the Girls (1944),[7] and Toplitzky of Notre Dame (1946).[6]


Personal life


In 1908, Long married Luray Grace Roblee, a stenographer from Wisconsin who later became an actress at Triangle/Fine Arts. She died in 1919 at age 29, due to the Spanish influenza epidemic. On October 16, 1923, he married Leta Amanda Held in Los Angeles, California.[7] They adopted a son whom they called John Huntley Long.[citation needed]

Long served during World War I and World War II, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel before receiving an honorable discharge at the end of World War II.[8]

Although he was often called upon to play antagonists and villains because of his gravel voice and rugged appearance, many people reported that he was actually a warm, kindhearted man off-camera.[8]


Death


Long died of a heart attack on July 4, 1952, in Los Angeles, California, while watching the fireworks display at The Coliseum, during Fourth of July celebrations.[citation needed]

Long is buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California.[1]
