C. H. Roach


name: Charles H. Roach
nickname: "Dad"
died early 1936


C. H. Roach was the father of studio head Hal Roach, and served as secretary-treasurer for roughly eighteen years. Because of this, he had at least a casual involvement in all of the studio's output during his tenure, including all of the Our Gang films made up until the first half of 1936. Admittedly, there isn't much to this filmography, since "Dad" Roach apparently never received onscreen credit.
