Robert J. Wilke

Biography

Prolific American character actor of primarily villainous roles. The son of German parents, Cincinnati feed-store manager August Wilke and his wife Rose, Robert Joseph Wilke grew up in Cincinnati. He worked as a lifeguard at a Miami, Florida, hotel, where he made contacts in the film business. He was able to obtain work as a stuntman and continued as such until the mid-'40s, when he began getting actual roles in low-budget westerns and serials. A prominent appearance as one of the heavies in Le train sifflera trois fois (1952) led to work in higher-quality films. He worked extensively in television as well as movies, and became an enormously familiar face, though a fairly anonymous one to the general public. His weathered visage made him a perfect western bad guy, but he occasionally played sympathetic parts as well, as in Les moissons du ciel (1978). An expert golfer, he was said by his friend Claude Akins to have earned more money on the golf course than he ever did in movies. He died in 1989. -

Lincoln Stedman

Biography

Lincoln Stedman was an American screen actor, in films from 1917 to 1934. Although his marriage and death records indicate he was born in 1906, the 1910, 1920, 1930, and 1940 Federal censuses make clear that he actually was born in 1901. Lincoln was an American silent film actor. He appeared in 81 films between 1917 and 1934. A large fat man, Stedman had a career in films dating back to his boyhood in silent films with his parents. Overweight as a teenager Stedman resembled Roscoe Arbuckle which allowed him to convincingly play adult roles far beyond his years in real life. He was born in Denver, Colorado and died in Los Angeles, California. He was the son of Marshall Stedman and silent film beauty Myrtle Stedman. He was married to Carol Rohe Stedman. One month before his death of a heart-ailment, his daughter Loretta Myrtle Stedman was born. Lincoln Stedman was buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles.
