Richard Talmadge
Richard Talmadge (born Ricardo Metezzeti, December 3, 1892 - January 25, 1981) was a Swiss-born American actor, stuntman and film director.
When he arrived in Hollywood in 1910, he began his carrier as a stuntman for Douglas Fairbanks, before becoming an actor himself. His films include American Manner, Dancing Dynamite, Speed Madness, and the Pirate Treasure series.
He never got rid of his German accent, so with the advent of the talkies, he started working behind the cameras - as assistant director, stunt coordinator and director. His later work included How the West Was Won, The Greatest Story Ever Told and Casino Royale.
