Bert Moorhouse (sometimes incorrectly billed as Bert Moorehouse) (November 20, 1894 - January 26, 1954) was an American character actor whose career began at the very tail end of the silent era, and lasted through the mid-1950s.
Born Herbert Green Moorhouse in Chicago, Illinois in 1894, he would enter the film industry in 1928 with featured roles in two FBO productions: Rough Ridin' Red, and the Hugh Trevor vehicle Hey Rube![1] [2]
He would appear in either featured or small roles in over 130 films during his 26-year career, as well as more than 200 other pictures in which he appeared as an extra.[3] In 1954 he had small roles in three films, the last of which to be premiered was Dangerous Mission, which starred Victor Mature, Piper Laurie, William Bendix, and Vincent Price.[4] All three of these films were released posthumously. Moorhouse was suffering from a severe illness, and on January 26 he committed suicide, via a gunshot wound to the head.[5] He was buried with his mother, Fannie, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
