Actor. He will be best remembered for playing the role of 'Bob Walton' in the short dramatic film, "The Golden Cloud" (1913), which also starred Adrienne Kroell, Rose Evans, and William Walcott. He was born one of two children as Alfred Maxwell Sargent in Chicago, Illinois, to Frank Ernest Sargent (1854-1920), and his wife Helena Carlsen Sargent (1858-1936). He was educated locally and was drafted during World War I. He eventually went onto pursue an acting career. He appeared as 'Henry' in the Broadway stage production of the play, "A Broken Idol" (1909), alongside David Andrada, Ethel Aris, Bertee Beaumont, Isabel Berclay, Joseph A. Bingham, Marjorie Cogan, Lawrence Comer, Connie Farber, Irene Farber, Franklin Foster, Laura Gaynelle, Billie Grant, Laura Guerite, Otis Harlan, Lillian Hazel, Fred Hill, Otto Hoffman, Forrest Huff, Grace La Rue, Marie Lamar, Lee Leontine, Gypsy Mooney, Carrie E. Perkins, George Richards, Gertrude Rutland, Margie Stiles, Olivette TreMayne, Jerome Van Norden, Agnes Vars, Madge Voe, Ethel White, Violet Winters, Millie Woods, and Alice Yorke. He also played the role of the 'Captain' in the stage version of L. Frank Baum's classic, "The Wizard Of Oz," which also starred actor Fred Stone, and he also sang or appeared in several musical plays before appearing in films. He made his actual film debut playing the role of 'Mr. Dudley' in the short dramatic film, "The Awakening" (1912). The film which was directed by Hobart Bosworth and Hardee Kirkland, and which also starred Lillian Leighton, Frank Weed, Lafe McKee, Rose Evans, Carl Winterhoff, and Frances Mason, tells the story of Bill Williams, a poor inventor with a large family, who suddenly comes into great wealth through the sale of an invention. Sudden affluence turns his head, and he changes at once from the plodding mechanic of the dingy shop into an ultra-fashionable man of the town. His wife, dazed with her new surroundings, stops at home ministering to her family as of old, while her husband soon finds congenial feminine companions, who flatter him into forgetfulness of his worthy but modest and retiring wife. Strangely enough, Mrs. Coleman, the woman of fashion, takes a fancy to the neglected wife and persuades her to follow the example of her husband, in order to win him back. This eventually brings the husband to a sense of his obligations and he becomes reconciled to his wife. Besides, "The Awakening" (1912), and "The Golden Cloud" (1913), his many other film credits include, "Her Bitter Lesson" (1912), "Don't Let Mother Know," or "The Bliss Of Ignorance" (1913), "The Collector Of Pearls" (1913), "The Ex-Convict" (1913), "Pauline Cushman, The Federal Spy" (1913), "The Gold Brick" (1913), "A Jolt For The Janitor" (1913), "Sweeney's Dream" (1913), "Two Artists And One Suit Of Clothes" (1913), "Borrowing Trouble" (1913), "The Water Rat" (1913), "The Jeweled Slippers" (1913), "The Conscience Fund" (1913), "The College Chaperone" (1913), "The Living Wage" (1914), "The Conspirators" (1914), "The Countess And The Burglar" (1914), "The Bond Of Love" (1914), "The Rube" (1914), "A Knight Of Trouble" (1914), "Peter's Relations" (1914), "The Five Hundred Dollar Kiss" (1914), and as 'Inventor Nutt' in his last film, "The House That Went Crazy" (1914). He was married to Helen R. Mange Sargent (1896-1974), on April 19, 1922, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with whom he had two children, Constance 'Connie' and Helen. The couple were together until his death
