Thompson (1889–1963). A showbiz veteran with a résumé stretching back to the days of silent movies, Thompson spent most of his career working on low-budget exploitation and sexploitation flicks. Born in 1889 in Bound Brook, New Jersey, he began racking up film credits during the earliest days of Hollywood, working on such exotic-sounding fare as Absinthe (1914, dir. Herbert Brenon) and The Demon (1918, dir. George D. Baker)."
