	Actors - James Cruze

James Cruze (born March 27, 1884 near Ogden, Utah - died August 3, 1942, in Hollywood, California) was a silent film actor. He was born as Jens Vera Cruz Bosen. The Vera Cruz middle name came from the battle of Vera Cruz. He was raised in the Mormon religion, but did not practice it after his teenage years. Very little is certain about his childhood and teen years because he told a different story at every interview he granted. He acted, directed and or produced in over 100 films mainly during the silent film era. His first known acting job was at Lubin Manufacturing Company in 1910. He started at Thanhouser Company in 1912 which is where the majority of his body of work was produced, much of it as the leading man. He married the actress Marguerite Snow in 1913 and had a daughter by her in 1914. They divorced in 1922. After leaving Thanhouser in 1916 he worked for several other companies and directed and also produced pictures but his work was never as popular again. He married the actress Betty Compson in 1924 and was divorced again in 1930.
