Howard Charles Hickman (February 9, 1880 – December 31, 1949[citation needed] ) was an American actor, director and writer. He was an accomplished stage leading man, who entered films through the auspices of producer Thomas H. Ince.

Career

In 1900, Hickman debuted on stage as an extra in a production in San Francisco. He went on to act in stock theater with the Alcazar Theatre,[1] Morosco, and Melborne MacDowell companies, among others.[2] On Broadway, Hickman wrote, and portrayed Gabby in, The Skirt (1921).[3]

Hickman's initial work in films was with the Lasky Pictures Company, after which he acted with the Triangle Company and later the Ince company.[2]

In 1918, Hickman debuted as a director, with The Rainbow (for Paralta studios) as his first film.[4] He directed 19 films.

With the rise of the sound film, Hickman returned to the film business but received mostly small roles, often as an authoritarian figure. Hickman made a brief appearance as plantation owner John Wilkes, father of Ashley Wilkes, in Gone with the Wind (1939). He ended his film career in 1944, after more than 270 films.

Personal life

Hickman was married to actress Bessie Barriscale.[4]

Original caption: "Howard Hickman, husband and director of Bessie Barriscale, shows leading man Jack Holt how to make love to Mrs. Hickman." This appears to be a production still from Kitty Kelly, M.D. (1919). If so, the cameraman behind the Bell & Howell model 2709 is Eugene Gaudio.
