Sam Flint

Sam Flint (born Samuel A. Ethridge; October 19, 1882 – October 17, 1980) was an American actor.

Flint appeared in more than 230 films, often as a "judge, lawyer, military officer, senator, sheriff, chief of police, or doctor."

Flint was married to actress Ella Ethridge, whom he met after she watched him in a play in Galveston, Texas. Later they had an agreement: "Neither will accept a part with any company unless the contract includes the other."
