Emmett Lynn was an American actor of the stage and screen. An eccentric character comedian in vaudeville, he later produced travelling road companies known variously as the Novelty Players, the Emmett Lynn Musical Comedy Company and the Emmett Lynn Players, of which he was its star comedian and usually billed as "Emmett 'Pap' Lynn; his troupes flourished in the 1920s and early 1930s. By 1935, he was just one of the comedians in a travelling musical revue called The Passing Show. On screen, Lynn appeared in over 140 films between 1940 and 1956. He made several television appearances from 1949 until his death, especially in westerns. He was featured in nine episodes of The Lone Ranger during the final decade of his life. He was born in Muscatine, Iowa, and died in Hollywood, California from a heart attack.
