**Tiny Sandford** (1884 – 1961) was an American actor, although his stage name was ironic given his imposing stature. His career spanned from the silent to the sound era, making him a recognizable face for decades.

A recurring face in Laurel and Hardy films, Sandford often played the antagonist, bouncer, police officers, or other authoritarian characters, leveraging his remarkable physical stature. Among his most memorable appearances with the duo are *The Battle of the Century*, *Our Relations* (also known as *Fra Diavolo*), and *Perfect Day*.

He also worked with Charlie Chaplin in iconic works such as *The Circus* and *Modern Times*, often in the role of a police officer. Sandford specialized in supporting roles, sometimes uncredited, where his imposing screen presence was his distinctive signature, even with minimal or no dialogue.
