Harry Myers
**Harry Myers (1882-1938)** was a prolific American film actor, primarily active during the silent era.
He is best remembered for his memorable portrayal of the eccentric, drunken millionaire in Charlie Chaplin's *City Lights* (1931), a role that earned him significant recognition for his sensitivity and comedic timing.
His career was studded with distinctive, albeit secondary, characters, often marked by a comedic touch. He was skilled at portraying good-natured figures, sometimes naive or slightly bizarre, who added depth or humor to the plots. Before his success with Chaplin, Myers was a constant presence in early cinema, appearing in hundreds of short and feature films, including titles like *The Lucky Dog* (1921) alongside Stan Laurel.
His transition to sound films was less prominent, but his legacy is firmly anchored in silent film classics.
