William Humphreys

American actor/director William Humphreys spent the bulk of his career with the Vitagraph company. Getting his start on stage, Humphreys specialized in playing Napoleon, a role he brought from Broadway to film in the one-reeler Man of Destiny (1909) and then in Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine of France (also 1909). At first he billed himself as William Humphreys, but later dropped the "s" in his surname. He remained with Vitagraph as a director and actor through the early sound years. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
