Biography

Raymond Griffith was one of the great silent movie comedians. Later in his career, he worked behind the camera as writer and producer.

Griffith was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He lost his voice at an early age, causing him to speak for the rest of his life in a hoarse whisper. Griffith claimed that it was the result of his having to scream at the top of his lungs every night in a stage melodrama as a child actor —others have stated that a childhood disease was more likely the cause.
