His father was John J. Ferguson, a jeweler in Alexandria, Louisiana. Early in his career Casson was a member of the Mantel Shakespeare Players in New Orleans before moving to California to pursue a movie career, first with the Seelig Company, then as a leading man. In 1928 he toured Europe and performed as a singer and actor in London and Paris. Returning to California, he married Catherine Mallon. Not long after he died of pneumonia at the age of 38; two days later his wife Catherine also died of pneumonia, and her mother soon died of pneumonia.[2]

Partial filmography
gollark: Lua, being cool™, actually lets you override the global environment other functions see. Which allows sandboxing very easily (minus some DoS attacks), since you just give them an environment with no I/O functions.
gollark: All the I/O stuff in CC is provided to user code via a bunch of tables of functions like `fs` in the global scope.
gollark: Specifically², function environments mostly.
gollark: Process management stuff got enhanced isolation after a spate of bugs relating to that, so it's *probably* okay now, but there are still problems, inevitably.
gollark: Also, some stuff was deliberately not isolated to the extent it should have been for security - mostly the process management, but possibly some filesystem IO.
