Samuel "Sam" William Lufkin was an American actor who usually appeared in small or bit roles in short comedy films.Career
Born in Utah, Lufkin spent most of his career at the Hal Roach Studios where he made over 60 films. In over half of these, he appeared alongside Laurel and Hardy, again mostly in small parts, but occasionally in more substantial roles, such as an irascible cop, or an irate motorist.

His grave is located at Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park.
