Known as a daredevil actor, Los Angeles native Vincent Howard did yeoman duty for Vitagraph in the title role of Sunlight's Last Raid (1917) and in such serials as A Fight for Millions (1917), Vengeance and the Woman (1917), and Smashing Barriers (1919), exclusively playing villains. It almost went terribly wrong during the filming of The Purple Riders (1921), a Western serial starring Joe Ryan, when Howard was badly mauled by what was supposedly a docile bear. The intrepid actor, however, recovered -- but not before Vitagraph had reaped heaps of publicity from the incident -- and was quickly back in harness in such serials as Breaking Through (1921), in which he opposed Carmel Myers' efforts to build an Alaskan railroad, and Mascot's The Isle of Sunken Gold (1927).
