Barney Bernard (August 18, 1877–March 21, 1924)[1][2] was an American stage and screen actor. Bernard always looked older than he was which allowed him to play aging ethnic Jewish characters. He established an onstage partnership with Alexander Carr and the two starred in the successful play Potash and Perlmutter beginning in 1913. Prior to the 'Potash' success, Bernard was in the first Ziegfeld Follie revue, Ziegfeld Follies of 1908 and had also appeared in a few stage musicals with Al Jolson, La Belle Paree (1911) with Kitty Gordon, Vera Violetta (1911) with Gaby Deslys, The Whirl of Society (1912) with Jose Collins.[3]
