Gaylord Fraser Lloyd

Gaylord Fraser Lloyd (March 20, 1888 – September 1, 1943 ) was an actor and assistant director, known for Dodge Your Debts, Trolley Troubles (1921) and Why Worry? (1923). He was the older brother of actor Harold Lloyd. He was married to Barbara Starr. He was born in Burchard, Nebraska, and died in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California.

He and his more famous brother looked very much alike, which allowed Gaylord to occasionally serve as a double for Harold. In the 1920 comedy His Royal Slyness, Gaylord played a prince while Harold played a lookalike American commoner.

While on the set of Scarface (1932), either as a segment director or visitor (accounts differ), he was blinded in one eye by a flying splinter from a copper explosive squib cap. Thus like his brother before him (losing part of his right hand to a prop bomb), being permanently maimed by an on-set accident.
