biography
Best remembered for playing Buster Keaton's rival in The Frozen North (1922), general purpose actor Freeman Wood had appeared on Broadway opposite Grace George in The Ruined Lady, and on tour with William Gillette in Secret Service. Onscreen from the late 1910s, Wood usually played "the other man" and was fairly busy through the silent era. Less visible after the advent of sound, he later became an extra.
