Life

Hatton worked as an actor on variety and repertoire stages from the age of 13. In 1911 he came to Los Angeles and soon made contacts with film. He mainly took on small, sometimes larger supporting roles. Cecil B. DeMille gave him more important tasks at times, such as the Dauphin Karl in Joan the Woman and Montezuma in The Woman God Forgot . In The Hunchback of Notre Dame , he was seen as Esmeralda admirer Pierre Gringoire.

He had his most successful period in the second half of the 1920s as a partner of Wallace Beery in the Riff and Raff series. From then on, Hatton often played the weird and comical sidekick of the heroes of B-Westerns. As the older hitchhiker in the semi-documentary thriller in cold blood , he ended his career of around 300 film roles.
