Mitchell Joseph Lewis (June 26, 1880 – August 24, 1956) was an American film actor whose career as a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player encompassed both silent and sound films.

Lewis was born in Syracuse, New York on June 26, 1880. He appeared in more than 175 films between 1914 and 1956, although many of his later film roles were uncredited. At MGM, He played mostly supporting roles, including Sheihk Ilderim in 1925's Ben Hur in the silent era and Ernest Defarge in A Tale of Two Cities (1935) in the sound era, but his career would diminish to small uncredited roles like the Captain of the Winkie Guards in The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Pete, the Indian in Go West (1940) starring the Marx Brothers. Lewis' final film was The Fastest Gun Alive (1956), starring Glenn Ford and Broderick Crawford. He also served as one of the original board members of the Motion Picture Relief Fund, now known as the Motion Picture & Television Fund. Lewis died at age 76 in Woodland Hills, California on August 24, 1956. He is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[1]

Notes

Although uncredited in The Wizard of Oz, he had several lines towards the end of the film, including: "She's dead. You killed her." "Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!" and, in response to Dorothy's request for the late witch's broomstick, "Please! And take it with you!".[1][2]
