Harry S. Hilliard (1886–1966)[1] was an American silent film actor best remembered as one of Theda Bara's leading men, if not her most prominent one. He started at Fox Films and continued on at Metro Pictures. Other leading ladies were June Caprice, May Allison, Carmel Myers and Gladys Brockwell. His career was essentially over by the end of the silent era but he had an uncredited role in a 1944 film. He is not the son of nor is he related to stage actor Robert C. Hilliard despite the resemblance.[2]
Hilliard could best be described as a cross between Francis X. Bushman and Harold Lockwood.
Hilliard died in April 1966 after complications from a fall.[3]
