Wallace Ford
Wallace Ford (12 February 1898 – 11 June 1966) was an English born American stage, cinema and television actor. Usually playing wise-cracking characters, he combined a tough but friendly demeanor with a small but powerful build.
==Early life==
Born Samuel Jones Grundy in Bolton, Lancashire, England into a working-class family of limited means. At 3 years of age he was placed by his uncle and aunt, in whose care he had been, into a Dr. Barnardo's orphanage home as they were unable to maintain his upkeep along with their own several children. At the age of 7 he was shipped with a number of other children from a similar background out to Canada to be found new homes with farming foster families as a part of the British Empire's on-going programme to populate the Canadian territory, Samuel being adopted by a family in Manitoba. He was ill treated however and became a serial runaway, being resettled several times with different families by the Canadian authorities. According to his own account at the age of 11 he ran away for the last time and joined a vaudeville traveling troupe touring Canada called 'The Winnipeg Kiddies', where he acquired his initial training as a performer.〔http://www.westernclippings.com/heavies/wallaceford_charactersheavies.shtml (Profile of Wallace Ford)〕
In 1914 at the age of 16 Samuel in company of another youth decided to head South to the United States of America to seek their fortune, riding a freight train illicitly. During the trip the other youth was killed beneath the wheels of a train. Later Samuel would adopt as his stage name the name of his dead companion from the trip, 'Wallace Ford'.〔http://www.westernclippings.com/heavies/wallaceford_charactersheavies.shtml〕
