About
Robert Gleckler (January 11, 1887 – February 25, 1939) was an American actor born in Pierre, South Dakota, whose career spanned both stage and screen. Over the course of his professional life, he accumulated credits in nearly 60 films between 1927 and his death in 1939, while also maintaining an active presence on the Broadway stage from 1917 to 1933.
Gleckler's Broadway work included appearances in a range of productions across both dramatic and musical forms. His stage credits encompassed the plays The Locked Room, The Drums Begin, Heat Lightning, and Shooting Star, as well as the musical Take a Chance, among other productions during his sixteen-year span on Broadway.
Alongside his theatrical work, Gleckler built a substantial film career. He was cast in the role of Jonas Wilkerson, the overseer of the slaves at Tara, in the production of Gone with the Wind. He died during filming, however, and the role was subsequently filled by Victor Jory. His work in film has been documented in Aubrey Solomon's reference volume The Fox Film Corporation, 1915–1935: A History and Filmography, published by McFarland in 2011. Gleckler died on February 25, 1939.
