Biography
William Hinckley arrived on 11 September 1894 and sprinted through a lightning career that flickered across the silent screen. In 1915 alone he stalked three enduring one-reelers—The Wayward Son, The Burned Hand, and The Wolf Man—each time carving out a presence that audiences remembered long after the houselights rose. His run ended abruptly in New York City on 4 May 1918, leaving just twenty-three years of life but a century’s worth of flickering images.
