Samuel William Lufkin (May 8, 1891 – February 19, 1952) was an American actor. He was known for appearing in small or bit roles in short comedy films.
Career Born in Utah, Lufkin spent most of his career at the Hal Roach Studios where he made over 60 films. In over half of these, he appeared alongside Laurel and Hardy, mostly in small parts, but occasionally in more substantial roles such as an irascible cop inThe Music Box, or an irate motorist in Two Tars. After Laurel and Hardy left Roach in 1940, the grim-faced Lufkin mostly appeared in further bit roles in Hollywood feature films before his death of uremia in 1952. His grave is located at Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park.
