Early life and career Born in Kokomo, Indiana,

Launched 2 years later, Gano's screen acting career comprised a half-dozen appearances prior to America's entry into World War I, during which he served in the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

By contrast, Gano's behind-the-camera credits span roughly half a century, beginning with the 1921 canine-centered adventure film The Silent Call and concluding with American International's ill-conceived 1971 Thing with Two Heads precursor, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant. In the interim, Gano shot such works such as Three Stooges shorts Booby Dupes, Micro-Phonies, Idiots Deluxe, and The Yoke's On Me, the Charles Starrett western Frontier Gun Law, and Budd Boetticher's A Guy, a Gal and a Pal, starring future producer Russ Meyer. He was also an innovator, having employed his own, home-made panchromatic stock on his 1921 DP debut. "tragic death," "injuries from which he will probably die," (aka "probably fatal injuries"), making an ill-fated leap from the 4th Street Bridge in Los Angeles. Thankfully, reports of his demise proved premature.

Death Gano died on May 7, 1973, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 80.
