full name: Harry Eugene Roach

This filmography attempts to include all of the films that Hal Roach worked on, including those not made by his studio.
It also attempts to include all of the films made by Hal E. Roach Studios, whether or not Roach himself was involved. The
filmography is nearly complete up through the mid 1940s, thanks mostly to Rob Stone, who let me utilize his impressive
list, and Richard Lewis Ward, who wrote A History Of The Hal Roach Studios, which includes an extensive
filmography. I've also received quite a lot of help from Joe Moore, who has filled in some gaps and provided
clarification for some of the information. The list below is the most complete that I've seen so far. It should be
noted, however, that the TV era (from the late '40s into the early '60s) is far from complete. For some
shows, I've been able to find a list of all the episodes, but not for others. Also, it isn't always clear whether
a show was actually made by Roach's company, or simply renting studio space. For the purposes of this filmography,
rental situations are not included, other than being briefly mentioned when known.
1913
Roach started as an extra with Universal in early 1913. He frequently appeared in westerns starring J.
Warren Kerrigan. It was during this period that he met Harold Lloyd. Realizing that his acting abilities were limited, he
began to take various non-acting assignments, and eventually served as assistant director on the Jeanie McPherson
series of shorts. Presumably, Roach didn't limit his options to Universal, and turned up at a number of other
studios.

- 1913 - Universal
- Roach advised on how the game of roulette was played, so as to make it realistic in the film. He remembered this as
his first film.
1914
Roach continued to work as an extra for Universal and other studios, as well as occasional work behind the
cameras. On July 23rd, he formed Rolin Film Company with partner Dan Linthicum (combining their names to form the
company name), and a third partner, I. H. Nance, who was replaced on Aug. 17th by Dwight Whiting. Roach was elected
president of the company. They hired Harold Lloyd to play the lead in the one-reel Willie Work series, with Jane Novak
as his leading lady and Roy Stewart as the heavy. They also filmed two-reel dramas, with Stewart in the lead and Lloyd
and Novak in support. Several films were made in the late summer and early fall before Lloyd defected to Keystone over a
pay dispute. Roach briefly tried another comedian, but production ceased when funds ran dry, with the company still
lacking a distributor. Roach then began directing comedies for Essanay, featuring such players as Bud Jamison and Snub
Pollard.

1915
Roach was directing comedies for Essanay when business partner Dwight Whiting succeeded in getting
Pathé Exchange interested in distributing the Rolin product. Pathé distributed only one Willie Work short,
"Just Nuts," and wanted Rolin to reunite the three principles, but only Lloyd was available. Pathé was able
to pick and choose which films they distributed, with Rolin turning over the rest to Motion Picture Specialties
Corporation, which found other distribution for a handful of the remaining films. During the summer, the company leased
facilities owned by Norbig Film Manufacturing Company at 1745-51 Alessandro Street in Edendale. Lloyd developed the
Lonesome Luke character during the course of the year, and was joined in July by Bebe Daniels and Snub Pollard. Dee
Lampton joined the Roach stock company late in the year. In October, Pathé committed to a long-term contract to
distribute the Luke series. It should be noted that Pathé released four films in 1915, "Lonesome Luke"
(June 7), "Once Every Ten Minutes" (July 12), "Soaking The Clothes" (Aug. 9)
and "Pressing His Suit" (Aug. 23) that were not made by Rolin Film Company, even though they've been
long attributed to the Lonesome Luke series. IMDb corrects this error, but credits Roach as an 'unconfirmed'
director.

1916
Rolin moved production in March to Pacific Laboratories on Santa Monica Boulevard. In April, they
attempted to hire Arnold Novello, better known as Toto, to star in his own series, but he was unavailable. In June, Rolin
launched rotund side player Dee Lampton into his own series, and gave him the ironic nickname Skinny. In August, the
Lonesome Luke series graduated to 2-reel status. Filming on the Skinny series ended in November, and Lampton returned
to the Rolin stock company. Late in the year, Rolin rented a vacant lot on Olive Street for their location work, and by
the end of the year, they had moved their main operation to the Bradbury mansion at 406 Court Street. IMDb lists three
Jimmy Aubrey comedies plus a film called "Jailed" as Rolin and Phunphilm films. All indications are that Aubrey
was in New York throughout 1916 and never did a series for Roach.

1917
In February, Roach went to New York to film the pilot for a new Toto series starring Arnold Novello, which
went into regular production in Los Angeles in May. In June, the Lonesome Luke series was discontinued in favor of a new
Harold Lloyd series in which he wore the lensless glasses with which most people associate him. While the Luke comedies
had been two-reelers, this new series tentatively reverted to the one-reel format. In October, a dispute between
Roach and Lloyd resulted in a short being filmed that featured sidekick Snub Pollard.

1918
Early in the year, the Los Angeles Fire Department ordered film production to cease on the vacant lot on
Olive Street. In March, there was another contract dispute between Roach and Lloyd, resulting in Alf Goulding filling in
for Lloyd in his latest short. On April 4th, Dwight Whiting sold his stock in the company to Roach, leaving the latter
without a business partner. In May, the Toto series was discontinued and Stan Laurel was signed on to star in his own
series. Unfortunately, the Laurel series fared even worse and expired in July.

1919
In April, the Harold Lloyd series expanded to a new two-reel format. In June, Lloyd leading lady Bebe
Daniels left the series and was replaced by Mildred Davis. The series came to an abrupt halt on Aug. 24th, when Lloyd
suffered a severe injury to his right hand, losing the thumb and forefinger, while posing for photographs with what he
thought was an inactive prop bomb. Two days later, a new series of one-reelers called 'Rolin Comedies' was
inaugurated, if only to keep the staff employed. These comedies initially starred Snub Pollard, but over the years, they
included most of the one-reelers made by the company, regardless of the star. Pollard's sidekick in these initial
comedies was child actor Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, who had arrived at the studio shortly before the
accident, and was signed to a long-term contract on Sep. 1st. Correspondence between Roach and Pathé executive
Fred Quimby during this period reveals that Roach wanted to start a series of 'coon' pictures, no doubt starring
Morrison. The head of Pathé in the US, Paul Brunet, vetoed this idea on the premise that 'kid' series were
generally not successful. Roach had to content himself with featuring Morrison in the Pollard series, which was advertised
as though the two were a comedy team. On Sep. 2nd, tragedy struck again when Dee Lampton, who had previously starred in
his own series, died of a ruptured appendix. In November, construction began on Hal E. Roach Studios in Culver City. The
land was provided for free by Harry Culver, who was trying to attract movie studios to his city. One contemporary
publication places the beginning of the Roach studio on November 8th, which may or may not have been the first day of
construction. Lloyd returned to work at the end of the year.

1920
The Harold Lloyd unit resumed production in early January, and within another two weeks, another series of
one-reelers was launched, this one starring Beatrice La Plante. This series was incorporated into the Rolin Comedies.
Production units began to use the new Culver City studio in February, but the official completion date wasn't until
April 20th. The La Plante series ended in April, and was replaced in June by a one-reel series called Vanity Fair
Maids, which quickly became Vanity Fair Girls, and starred Eddie Boland. This series was considered separate from the
Rolin Comedies. On Aug. 16th, Rolin Film Company was officially renamed Hal E. Roach Studios. With this name-change,
the one-reelers produced by the company were renamed the Hal Roach Comedies. IMDb includes "Nomads Of The
North" among the films Roach produced during this year, but they simultaneously attribute it to another company, so
it's doubtful that Roach was involved.

1921
In January, the Vanity Fair Girls were retired, and their series became a solo vehicle called the Eddie
Boland Comedies. In February, Charles Parrott (later known as Charley Chase) joined Roach to direct the Snub
Pollard series. Ernie Morrison's contract was renewed on February 28th. In March, Gaylord Lloyd (the brother of
Harold), was featured in a handful of the Hal Roach Comedies. Early in the year, Harold Lloyd's films began to be
funded by Associated Exhibitors. On April 17th, Roach contracted with the Ruth Roland company to make a serial in
conjunction with his company. In August, the Hal Roach Comedies started to feature Paul Parrott (actually Charles'
brother, James), who replaced the departing Eddie Boland. There was also a George Rowe pilot produced for this series
in August. On September 20th, Roach signed a contract with Pathé for the release of a Sunshine Sammy two-reeler
that failed to achieve series status. Late in the year, the Ruth Roland serial "White Eagle" was produced by her
own company in conjunction with Roach. With the release of Harold Lloyd's mini-feature "A Sailor-Made
Man," his unit switched exclusively to feature production. In December, Parrott (aka Chase) was appointed
director-general of the studio. This gave him supervisory status over all of the non-Lloyd films. Special
note: In his book, Richard Ward lists a one-reeler entitled "One-Quarter Inch," which was part of
the Lloyd reissue series and released on September 11th. This was either a retitled film, a previously unreleased film, or
a mistake in the source material.

1922
In January, the first film starring Hal Roach's Rascals was shot and titled "Our Gang," a
name that soon became an alternate title for the series. Roach and Pathé signed into a distribution deal for the
series on January 19th. In March, the Snub Pollard series graduated to 2-reel status, but this turned out to be a bad
idea and they soon reverted back to the one-reel format. A second Ruth Roland serial, entitled "The Timber
Queen," was produced this year. Towards the end of the year, Jobyna Ralston replaced Mildred Davis as Harold
Lloyd's leading lady. It appears that Charles Parrott (aka Chase) resigned as director-general in December
to concentrate on acting. The Will Rogers films "The Ropin' Fool" and "Fruits Of Faith" are listed
in IMDb as Roach films, but were almost certainly produced elsewhere.
