Frederic De Belleville (February 17, 1855 in Liège – February 25, 1923 in New York City)[1][2] was a Belgian-born American stage actor.
He began his career in 1873 in London and arrived in the United States in 1880. An early newspaper account records him as starring in a play False Friend for A. M. Palmer.[3] He was long a leading man on the stage to Clara Morris, Rose Coghlan, Mrs. Fiske and Viola Allen.[4] De Belleville appeared in three silent films.
De Belleville was apparently married and divorced several times.[citation needed] An early wife Maude Stuart died in childbirth in 1886. Their newborn son also called Frederic De Belleville did not survive infancy. He is buried beside Stuart.[5]
