American leading man and character actor of the silent period. Born in Crystal City, Missouri(though a number of popular reference works list Switzerland and Kokomo, Indiana). He is listed in the 1880 census as living in Kokomo at the age of two years. This means his date of birth must have been 1878. His father, Paul Santschi was born in Sigriswill, Switzerland and came to the U.S. as a child. Tom Santschi promoted the myth that he was born in Switzerland since it seemed much more exciting than being born in Crystal City or Kokomo. After performing as an amateur actor, he made his professional stage debut at age 19, and worked for the next decade in the theatre. He landed a small role in a film produced by Selig Polyscope, and over the next few years rose from bit player to leading man. He directed and wrote a few of his films. Following the First World War, he became more frequently seen in supporting roles, often as villains. He worked consistently until his death in 1931.- Studied in Madrid and published poems in various literary periodicals. Lead an adventurous life, travelling through the USA, earning a living from lectures, performances and readings. Was also successful as a playwright and owed much of his fame from his acquaintance with famous poets such as the Machado brothers, Juan Ramon Jimenez and Ruben Dario. His most successful play was "El Alcázar de las Perlas", from which the elegy "Las Fuentes de Granada" is still quoted and recited frequently.
