Mark Noble (April 18, 1881 â€" January 9, 1978), known as Noble

Johnson, was an American actor and film producer. He appeared in films

such as The Mummy (1932), The Most Dangerous Game (1932), King Kong

(1933) and Son of Kong (1933).Standing 6'2" at 215 pounds, his

impressive physique and handsome features made him in demand as a

character actor and bit player. In the silent era, he assayed a wide

variety of characters of different races in a plethora of films,

primarily serials, westerns and adventure movies. While Johnson was

cast as black in many films, he also played Native American and Latino

parts and "exotic" characters such as Arabians or even a devil in hell

in Dante's Inferno (1924).The old orthochromatic film stock of the

early days was less discriminating about a person's color, as were

black-and-white stocks in general, permitting some African-American

actors a break, as their color was washed out or less obvious when

photographed in black and white. As late as the early 1960s, there

were very few African-American members of the Screen Actors Guild.

Because there was a lack of opportunity for them as black performers,

they were confined mostly to race films until the 1960s.
