Charles Hammond

Charles Pitt Hammond (31 August 1868 – 25 September 1955) was an Australian cricketer and actor. He played two first-class matches for Tasmania in the late 1890s, before moving to the United States.

While working at the Launceston Stock Exchange in the 1890s, Hammond also played cricket and took part in amateur theatrical productions.

In 1901 Hammond moved to the United States, where he made a living as a professional actor, first on the stage in New York, then in Hollywood movies. His film parts included prominent roles in Women Men Marry (1922), Received Payment (1922) and Big Brother (1923).

Hammond married Josephine Collins of Launceston in Cheltenham, England, in July 1909. They had one child, a son, who died in childhood.
