Charles Arthur Space (October 12, 1908 – January 13, 1983) was an American film, television and stage actor. Today's audiences know him as the eccentric inventor opposite Laurel and Hardy in The Big Noise (1944), and as veterinarian Doc Weaver in 39 episodes of the CBS television series Lassie.
Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Space first delved into acting at Douglass College.
Space began his career in summer stock theater and eventually began appearing on Broadway. His Broadway credits include Three Men on a Horse and Awake and Sing.
Producer Edward Finney cast Space as an urbane hoodlum in the 1941 crime drama Riot Squad, starring Richard Cromwell and released by PRC. He jumped from the PRC company to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. Under contract to MGM, Space appeared alongside Abbott and Costello in Rio Rita, and had roles in Tortilla Flat, Grand Central Murder, Andy Hardy's Double Life, and others. Space remained with MGM but took assignments at other studios, including Twentieth Century-Fox, Columbia, and Universal. At Fox, he appeared in the Laurel and Hardy comedy The Big Noise, in which Space played the second lead to the starring team.
Space appeared in three Republic chapter plays: Government Agents vs. Phantom Legion, Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders, and Panther Girl of the Kongo.
In 1953, Space played Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis, the commander during the siege at the Alamo, in The Man from the Alamo (1953). Space was unbilled.
In 1954, Space played the bandit Black Bart, or Charles Bolles, in an episode of the syndicated Western television series Stories of the Century.
Throughout the mid-1950s, Space continued appearing in films such as The Spirit of St. Louis with James Stewart while guest starring on various television series. He appeared four times as Col. Tomkin in the ABC Western series, Colt .45, starring Wayde Preston. During this time, Space had a recurring role as veterinarian Dr. Frank Weaver on Lassie (Jeff’s Collie in syndication).
