James Finlayson

26 Aug, 1887 in Larbert, Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland, UK

James Henderson "Jimmy" Finlayson (August 27, 1887 – October 9, 1953) was a Scottish actor who worked in both silent and sound comedies. Bald, with a fake moustache, Finlayson had many trademark comic mannerisms and is famous for his squinting, outraged, "double take and fade away" head reaction, and characteristic... expression "d'ooooooh", and as the most famous comic foil of Laurel and Hardy.
