Warner Oland
Warner Oland (October 3, 1879 – August 6, 1938) was a Swedish American actor most remembered for his screen role as the detective Charlie Chan. He moved to the United States when he was 13 and pursued a film career that would include time on Broadway and dozens of film appearances. He starred in a total of 16 Charlie Chan films.
==Early years==
He was born Johan Verner Ölund in the village of Nyby, Bjurholm Municipality,
Västerbotten County, Sweden. He claimed that his vaguely Asian appearance was due to possessing some Mongolian ancestry,〔Hanke, Ken. ''(Charlie Chan at the Movies: History, Filmography, and Criticism )''. McFarland & Company: Jefferson, North Carolina, 1989.〕〔LoBianco, Lorraine. "(Daughter of the Dragon )" Turner Classic Movies.〕 though his known ancestry contains no indication that this was so.〔Swedish genealogist Sven-Erik Johansson has traced Ölund's ancestry back 5 generations. (Sikhallan Genealogy site )〕 When he was thirteen, his family emigrated to the United States. Educated in Boston, Massachusetts, he spoke English and his native Swedish, and eventually translated some of the plays of August Strindberg. As a young man he pursued a career in theater, at first working on set design while developing his acting skills. Trained as a dramatic actor, in 1906, he was signed to tour the country with the troupe led by actress Alla Nazimova. The following year he met and married the playwright and portrait painter Edith Gardener Shearn. The woman made an ideal partner for Oland and she mastered the Swedish language, helping him with the translation of Strindberg's works that they jointly had published in book form in 1912.
