🎬 Charley Rogers — Master Filmmaker

Charles Rogers (15 January 1887 – 20 December 1956) was an English film actor, director and screenwriter best known for his association with Laurel and Hardy. He was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, and was the son of provincial English playwright Charles Rogers, and brother of actors John Rogers and Gerald Rogers. In 1928, he joined the Laurel and Hardy crew on the Hal Roach lot, where he worked as an actor, writer, and ultimately director. Although he was known informally as "Charley," he was always billed on screen under his given name, Charles Rogers. In 1931, Rogers was paired with Roach performer Charlie Hall in a short subject, Hopping Off (1931). The short was never released, and the remaining footage can be seen briefly in The Boy Friends short Wild Babies (1932). In the 1940s, as an actor, Rogers was teamed briefly with Harry Langdon in feature films and with Andy Clyde for a few short comedies. Following this, Rogers became a writer for television and radio. In 1956, Rogers died in Los Angeles, California, following injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
