Albert Edward "Bud" Duncan (October 31, 1883 – November 25, 1960) was an American actor of the silent era, most known for his early work with silent film comedian Lloyd Hamilton. He appeared in more than 160 films between 1912 and 1942.

Early life Duncan was born on October 31, 1883, in Brooklyn, New York. His father was a traveling salesman and ventriloquist and Duncan joined his act at age 6. Although his father sent him to a military school, Duncan started taking on more acting roles after graduation and eventually ended up in vaudeville. His first work in the film industry was for the Biograph Company and he later played Jeff in the Nestor Film Company's film adaptations of the Mutt and Jeff comic strips. Shortly after the Mutt and Jeff series ended, Duncan returned to vaudeville, where he first encountered Lloyd Hamilton.
