Howard M. Heck(1880-1945)
- Actor
Howard M. Heck was a professional railroad fireman headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, at the time that Kalem Company was filming a number of their railroad stories there, circa 1912-1913. In A Railroad Wooing (1913) he appears second credited on-screen as the hero's buddy, who just happens to be a railroad fireman. His ease and naturalness in front of the camera make it easy to believe that he may have played similar roles in other Kalem films, but since no further documentation has yet confirmed this fact, further research is still required.
