He appeared in more than 175 films between 1914 and 1956, working as a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player across the silent and sound eras. His early supporting roles included Sheik Ilderim in *Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ* (1925) and Andy in *The Docks of New York* (1928). In the sound era his parts included Ernest De Farge in *A Tale of Two Cities* (1935) and the uncredited Captain of the Winkie Guard in *The Wizard of Oz* (1939).

He also served as one of the original board members of the Motion Picture Relief Fund, now known as the Motion Picture & Television Fund. Lewis had earlier appeared on Broadway. *Sources: en.wikipedia.org, imdb.com.* ## On Fi1m (4) ### Performed in (3) — the average rests on these - *Anthony Adverse* (1936), Fi1m 57, as White Man Whipping Slave — [page](https://film.one/film/anthony-adverse.md) - *A Tale of Two Cities* (1935), Fi1m 76, as Ernest De Farge — [page](https://film.one/film/a-tale-of-two-cities.md) - *The Docks of New York* (1928), Fi1m 84, as Andy — [page](https://film.one/film/the-docks-of-new-york.md) ### Also credited (1) — thanks, archive footage, uncredited - *The Wizard of Oz* (1939), Fi1m 91, as Captain of the Winkie Guard (uncredited) — [page](https://film.one/film/the-wizard-of-oz.md) ## Complete filmography (152) Every credit, newest first.
