Hugh Buckler (9 September 1881 – 30 October 1936), often referred to as Hugh C. Buckler, was a British actor.[2] He was married to the stage actress ,[3] about whom little has been found. Buckler and Paget founded Sydney's Little Theatre in 1913. The film actor John Buckler was their son.
Buckler, who was a reserve officer with the Royal Irish Rifles,[4] fought with the British army in The Great War. A rumor that he had a leg amputated below the knee[5] was later reported as unfounded.[6]
Father and son died together when their car left the road and plunged into Malibu Lake.[7]
