Crane Wilbur (November 17, 1886 – October 18, 1973) was an American writer, actor and director for stage, radio and screen.
He was born in Athens, New York.
Wilbur is best remembered for playing Harry Marvin in The Perils of Pauline.
He died in Toluca Lake, California.He was a prolific writer and director of at least 67 films from the silent era into the sound era, but it was as an actor that he found lasting recognition, particularly playing opposite Pearl White in the iconoclastic serial The Perils of Pauline.
He brought to the first motion pictures merry eyes, a great, thick crop of wavy, black hair and an athlete's interest in swimming and horseback riding.
Twelve years of stage experience prepared him for his venture into the new art of silent motion pictures.
