**Harold Lloyd** (1893-1971) was one of the giants of American silent film comedy. Known for his iconic "Glasses Character," an ambitious, optimistic, and unstoppable young man often seeking success.

His style combined subtle humor with spectacular physical gags and breathtaking stunts, particularly his famous skyscraper climbs. Among his most celebrated films are *Safety Last!* (1923), unforgettable for the scene where he hangs from a giant clock, and *The Freshman* (1925), which cemented his image as an everyday hero.

Lloyd, along with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, is considered one of the three greats of silent comedy, influencing generations of filmmakers with his portrayal of the average American – heroic and persevering.
