Charles Pitt Hammond (31 August 1868 – 25 September 1955) was an Australian cricketer and actor. He played two first-class matches for Tasmania between 1898 and 1900, before moving to the United States.[1]
While working at the Launceston Stock Exchange in the 1890s, Hammond also played cricket and took part in amateur theatrical productions. In 1901 he moved to the United States, where he made a living as a professional actor, first on the stage in New York, then in Hollywood movies.[2][3] He married Josephine Collins in Cheltenham, England, in July 1909. They had one child, a son, who died in childhood.[3]
