Sidney Blair was born in San Francisco in 1882. His stage career included appearances with Rose Stahl, Blanche Walsh, William H. Crane, and others in Father and the Boys, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and other productions on the Orpheum Circuit. His screen career is believed to have begun with Thanhouser, where he played in The Snare of Fate, A Crepe Bonnet, and other films. Later, he went to Frohman-World, where he appeared in Just Out of College and other features. A 1916 directory noted he was 6’2” tall, weighed 165 pounds, and had light brown hair and blue eyes. In his spare time he enjoyed horseback riding and swimming.
