Biography:Slick-haired utility actor "Brooks Benedict" held down several odd jobs in Hollywood before turning to acting in the early 1920s. Benedict's first role of note was "The Campus Cad" in "Harold Lloyd"'s "The Freshman" (1925), one of several supporting assignments for producer/star Lloyd. In 1926, he shared a memorable scene on a bus with another legendary comedian, Harry Langdon, in "The Strong Man". Except for such sizeable early-talkie roles as George Mason in 1932's "Girl Crazy", Brooks Benedict was largely confined to bits and extra work until his retirement in the mid-1950s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
