CHARLES TROWBRIDGE BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY:
 
Charles Trowbridge was born on January 10th, 1882 in Veracruz, Mexico with the birth name Charles Silas Richard Trowbridge.  Although he was born in Mexico, both of his parents were American and his family relocated back to the United States during his childhood.  He was raised in Napa, California and also spent some of his younger years living in Hawaii. 

After high school, Trowbridge went on to earn a college degree from Stanford University and then found work as an architect.  During this type of work, he designed for stages and developed an interest in acting.  He soon began his own acting training at the Alcazar Theatre in San Francisco.
