Templar Saxe (born Templer William Edward Edevein; August 22, 1865 – April 17, 1935) was a British-born stage actor, opera singer and silent film actor. In films, he usually was a character actor as his singing voice could not be used in silent films. He was born in Redhill, Surrey, England and died in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] [2]

In 1901, he starred in Alfred E. Aarons' production of The Ladies' Paradise at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.[4] In 1905, he starred in the Broadway production of The Earl and the Girl at the Casino Theatre, and was praised by The New York Times for his singing.[5]
