Edgar Lewis (c. 1875 – May 21, 1938) was an American film director. Two of his most famous films were The Great Divide (1925) and The Barrier (1926).[1] He directed early silent films starring Douglas Fairbanks, William Farnum, Mary Pickford, and Norma Talmadge.[1]
He began his career as a stage actor and entered the film industry in 1911 as an actor, making his directorial debut two years later. Specializing in action-adventure films and westerns, he directed dozens of pictures between 1913 and 1930, when he left directing and returned to his first love, acting. Most of his films during the sound era were in bit parts or uncredited roles. He appeared in his final film, Riding Wild.
He retired in 1935. He died in Los Angeles in 1938.
