William E. Sheridan (June 1, 1839 – May 18, 1887), was an American stage actor and Civil War veteran, active on stage from 1858 until his death in 1887. Sheridan was a respected actor who played both lead and supporting roles, but was probably best suited when cast as the villain. ==Early life== William Edward Sheridan was born in Boston, Massachusetts, where in his late teens he clerked for several years at Benjamin Loring & Co., a stationery store on State Street. He made his stage debut at Boston’s Howard Athenaeum on March 15, 1858, as Robin in Thomas Morton's five-act comedy, ''Town and Country.'' After a period with John A. Ellsler at the Cleveland Theatre (later known as the Cleveland Academy of Music), Sheridan found a niche in the fall of 1859 playing villains at Pike's Opera House, Cincinnati,〔Note: built by John Pike who later constructed Pike's Opera House, New York〕 remaining there until war broke out between the States. He enlisted in the spring of 1861 at Cincinnati with the Sixth Ohio Infantry and rose to the rank of captain before a sniper’s bullet fractured a forearm during the Battle of Resaca, Georgia. Though a skilled army surgeon ultimately saved his arm, the wound would plague him for the rest of life.〔〔William E. Sheridan Dead.
