Barney Bernard (1877–1924)[1][2] was an American stage and screen actor. Bernard always looked older than he was which allowed him to play aging ethnic Jewish characters. He established an onstage partnership with Alexander Carr and the two starred in the successful play Potash and Perlmutter beginning in 1913. Prior to the 'Potash' success, Bernard was in the first Ziegfeld Follie revue, Ziegfeld Follies of 1908 and had also appeared in a few stage musicals with Al Jolson, La Belle Paree (1911) w/Kitty Gordon, Vera Violetta (1911) w/Gaby Deslys, The Whirl of Society (1912) w/Jose Collins.[3]
Bernard died in March 1924 while preparing to costar with Carr in the sequel to their film version of Potash and Perlmutter(1923)(which was filmed at Ft. Lee New Jersey), to be called In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter.[4] Actor George Sidney was brought in to replace Bernard as Abe Potash. He was no relation to actor Sam Bernard.
