Hansel was born in Indiana, and began his career as a stage actor on the East Coast. Eventually he gave up his acting career[1] to join Thanhauser as a film director; he'd also direct films for Famous Players–Lasky.[2]
His output slowed toward the end of his life as he struggled with a prolonged illness. He died in Manhattan in 1917, leaving behind a wife and a daughter.[2]
