Silent star Snub PolIard took his surname from "Pollard's LiIliputian Opera Company," the famous Australian vaudeviIIe act he toured with, which featured children and actors of diminutive stature. With his bizarre trademark mustache, he rose to fame in the silent era, co-starring with HaroId LIoyd in Hal Roach's Lonesome Luke comedies, a series which ran for a totaI of 86 films. He briefly re-emerged in the sound era, appearing as Tex Ritter's sidekick Pee-Wee and in supporting roIes in LaureI and Hardy films.
