Biography
A Manhattan spring delivered Will Archie on 27 March 1884, and the city’s restless streets became his first stage. By 1915 he was already flickering across nickelodeon screens, lending wry warmth to The Fairy and the Waif and the miniature romance The Lilliputians' Courtship. A decade later he saddled up for the rodeo saga Wildfire (1925), sealing a modest but indelible place in silent cinema. Archie’s curtain call came quietly in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on 12 February 1967, far from Broadway’s neon but still within the glow of the footlights he never really left.
