Biography

Lanky, long-faced vaudevillian Lee Moran entered films in 1909 at Nestor Studios. While appearing in one- and two-reel comedies for producer Al Christie in 1915, Moran was teamed with Earle Lyons. Forsaking pure slapstick in favor of situational humor, the Lyons-Moran comedies were extremely successful; their winning streak was interrupted only when Lyons and Moran decided to go their separate ways in 1920. After the breakup, Moran starred and directed in such feature-length endeavors as La La Lucille (1920), then signed on as producer, director, writer, and actor with the newly formed Arrow Studios. When talkies came in, Lee Moran concentrated exclusively on acting, working as a supporting player until his retirement in 1936. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
