Ralph Morgan

Morgan, Ralph [né Wupperman] (1883–1956), actor. Brother of Frank, he was less well known, although he was a more versatile performer. Originally a lawyer, he took to the stage in 1908. Among his early successes were gadabout Jack Wheeler in Fair and Warmer (1915) and the juvenile John Marvin in Lightnin' (1918). Morgan's biggest hit was as the duped husband Tony Dorning in Cobra (1924). After replacing Tom Powers as family friend Charles Marsden in Strange Interlude, he spent many years in films, returning much later to play a number of supporting roles without much success.
