Biography

Marks made his professional stage debut in 1888 and for nine years was a member of West Coast entrepreneur Oliver Morosco's stock company. The actor and director Marshall Neilan brought Marks to Hollywood in 1915, where he spent the next twenty years playing older gentlemen in many films, including The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln (1924), in which he played William Seward. Marks' career declined after the emergence of sound movies.

Marks' papers are housed at the University of Denver.
