Biography

Born in Springfield, Illinois, in 1873, Lorch appeared in several Three Stooges comedies. He was the suspicious Major "Bloodhound" Filbert in '' Uncivil Warriors'', the snooty psychologist Professor Sedlitz in '' Half-Wits Holiday'', and General Muster in '' Goofs and Saddles''.

Lorch died on November 12, 1947. His final Stooge film, '' The Hot Scots'', was released posthumously in 1948. He was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California.
