Gus "Pop" Leonard (February 4, 1859 – March 27, 1939) was an American film actor.
The French-born actor began his long career on the stage in San Francisco, California, while he was still a child in the 1860s. In later years, he specialised in a drunken waiter act in vaudeville.
Leonard started his film career in 1915[1] and mostly played supporting roles in slapstick comedies. He appeared in nearly 190 films between 1916 and 1937. He appeared in the Our Gang comedies: Mush and Milk, Teacher's Beau and The Lucky Corner. Leonard died of a cerebral hemorrhage[1] in Los Angeles, California on March 27, 1939, aged 80.
