Ford Sterling (November 3, 1883 – October 13, 1939) was an American actor.
Born George Ford Stich in La Crosse, Wisconsin, he began his career in silent films in 1911 with Biograph Studios. When director Mack Sennett left to set up Keystone Studios, Sterling followed him. There, he performed what is probably his most remembered role as 'Chief' in the Keystone Kops series of slapstick comedies in a successful career that spanned twenty-five years.
Ford Sterling made the last of his more than two hundred and seventy film appearances in 1936. He died in 1939 of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California and is interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Ford Sterling has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6612 Hollywood Blvd.
