Mix, Tom (sh)




orig. Thomas Hezikiah Mix

born Jan. 6, 1880, Mix Run, Pa., U.S.
died Oct. 12, 1940, near Florence, Ariz.

U.S. Film actor.

He worked as a cowhand and a deputy sheriff and served in the army and in the Texas Rangers before joining a Wild West show in 1906. He made his screen debut as a roughriding hero in 1910 and soon became a star of silent westerns. Over the years his horse, Tony, became almost as famous as Mix himself. Mix appeared in more than 200 one-and two-reelers and feature films, many of which he also produced or directed. His career declined with the coming of sound.
