Tom Chatterton (February 12, 1881 – August 17, 1952) was an American actor and director.
Born in Geneva, New York, Chatterton was active in sports as a youth. He gained early acting experience with Ben Horning's stock theater company in Syracuse, New York.[1] He worked with several stock theater companies, and for three years he portrayed the mayor in a touring company of The Man of the Hour.[2] He also was active in vaudeville.[3]
He began his film career in 1913 at the New York Motion Picture Company under director Thomas H. Ince. Although never a major star, Chatterton had several leading roles in early silent films. He appeared in a large number of westerns and was able to adapt to talkies allowing him to have a successful career lasting five decades.
Chatterton was also a film director.[3]
He died in Hollywood in 1952[3] and was interred in the Glenwood Cemetery in his hometown of Geneva.
