Comparison Photos (available in downloads page)

I'm on the look out for a hat like his. I did manage to find a top hat  just like the one he wore in Zenobia.

Image on the left is a video still. While viewing the video, a photo of Harry came to mind. It's the one where he's walking between Laurel & Hardy, holding onto their arms. I paused the video the moment that photo popped into my mind's eye to compare them. Note the similar hands and smile.

This is a candid photo a friend snapped of me in October 2019.  I compared it to a still shot of Harry from the film, HALLELUJAH I'M A BUM. He was 48 here, I'm 42. It's quite startling, even to me, how similar we look from the side.  I rarely see myself in profile. We have nearly the same facial proportions...similar lines, shadows, highlights...same skin folds under the chin (can't afford to undo the effects of aging!)

Photo of me from 2019, photo of Harry from 1935 from the book, "Nothing On a Stage Is Permanent" by Harry Langdon, Jr.

 Also included an ink drawing comparison. I did the one on the left and wasn't even trying to consciously replicate Harry's drawing style. When he wasn't shooting films, Harry spent his free time drawing, painting, cartooning, sculpting, carving, carpentry...this is how I now make a living. Visit the page titled Our Artwork for more comparisons.
