Sidney Toler
Sidney Toler
28 April 1874 - 12 February 1947
Warrensburg, Missouri
Sidney Toler was cast to replace Warner Oland as the new Charlie Chan in 1938. Toler was already in his mid sixties when he took on the Charlie Chan role. Like Warner Oland, Sidney Toler had slightly Oriental features. Toler required additional make-up to slant his eyebrows, where Oland did not. Toler developed into a very credible Chan slightly more emotional in his character than Oland. In some ways he was closer to the Chan of the novels.
Sidney Toler brought to the Chan character a more quick-witted, and a much funnier Chan than the Warner Oland version of the Chan character.
“Death, the one appointment we all must keep, and for which no time is set” Charlie Chan
