From the Yiddish theater, comedy actor Dore Davidson later appeared in such mainstream Broadway plays as To Have and to Hold (1901; Cecil B. DeMille was also in the cast) and What the Butler Saw (1906). A busy screen performer in the 1910s, Davidson turned up briefly in Intolerance before settling into a long career playing typically Jewish characters, rabbis, pawnbrokers, money lenders, etc. He retired prior to the advent of sound.
