Pat Harmon

Plummer Hull Harman (February 3, 1886 – November 26, 1958), known professionally as Pat Harmon, was an American film actor. He appeared in 166 films between 1920 and 1935, with — reflecting his strength in comedy — his releases including Charles Chaplin's Modern Times (Harmon's last film), as well as Harold Lloyd's Hot Water, The Freshman (1925), and The Cat's Paw (1934), Buster Keaton's Spite Marriage (1929), Free and Easy (1930), Doughboys (1930), and What - No Beer? (1933), Laurel and Hardy's Berth Marks (1930), Pack Up Your Troubles (1932), and Sons of the Desert (1933), Harry Langdon's See America Thirst (1932), and The Marx Brothers’ Monkey Business (1931).

In 1935, Harmon was the victim of a violent assault which resulted in serious facial injuries, and on August 29, 1935, he was sentenced to serve two-to-10 years in Folsom Prison after being found guilty of stealing a horse. After the incidents involved, Harmon's film career ended as he never appeared on screen again.

He was born in Lewistown, Illinois and died in Riverside, California.
