Colin Chase (April 13, 1886 – April 25, 1937) was an American silent film actor.
Born in 1886 in Lewiston, Idaho, Chase signed for his first film role in 1915 and starred in about 45 films. In 1916, he signed a long-term contract with the Morosco-Pallas company.[1]
Chase often was cast as a villain in Westerns, sometimes being billed as "Bud Chase". As a supporting player with Fox and other studios, he made the transition to sound films. He had been a cartoonist for a newspaper in Chicago and had performed in vaudeville.[2]
Chase died on April 25, 1937, after an illness of several weeks, and one week after he had become "stricken with paralysis" from either a stroke or an illness.[3] in Sawtelle, California.[4]
