Robert Edward Homans[1] (November 8, 1877 - July 28, 1947) was an American actor who entered films in 1923 after a lengthy stage career.[2]
Robert Homans was born November 8, 1877, in Malden, Massachusetts.[3] Although he studied medicine for three years after his college graduation, a 1906 newspaper article noted that "the 'stage bee' got into his bonnet and nothing would do but that he become an actor."[4] His Broadway credits include The Blue Bird (1910), The Blue Envelope (1915), Johnny, Get Your Gun (1916) and Like a King (1921).[5]
His screen debut came in Madame Sherry. He appeared in some 400 films between 1917 and 1946.[3]
On April 18, 1909, Homans married Agnes J. Mellon in San Francisco.[6] Another source gives his wife's name as Agnes Maynard.[7]
Homans died in Los Angeles, California on July 28, 1947, from a heart attack.[3] [8]
