biography
In films from 1928, Lorrin Raker (aka Lorin and Loren Raker) was typecast early on as henpecked husbands and fussy office managers. Raker could often be found playing minor roles in major films, notably Les Miserables (1935) and Two-Faced Woman (1941). He was even busier in the two-reel comedy field, playing opposite such funsters as Clark and McCullough, Andy Clyde and Vera Vague. Lorrin Raker's final film role was the landlord in 1951's Tales of Robin Hood.
