He started as an extra on the Universal Studios lot, where he met and befriended comedy legend Hal Roach. With Roach's help, he created what he referred to as his \"Glasses\" character, usually called \"The Boy\" or \"Harold\" in the films themselves. An affable everyman who could be rich or poor, successful or unemployed, \"The Boy\" was identifiable by his never-flagging enthusiasm and ever-present round spectacles. He inevitably found himself in precarious situations that ended up demonstrating Lloyd's superior athletic ability. Harold had great success making two-reelers with Roach before striking out on his own to make feature-length comedies (beginning with \u003ci\u003eA Sailor-Made Man\u003c\/i\u003e in 1921.) This collection compiles the best of Lloyd's work with Roach during this period.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFROM HAND TO MOUTH (1919):\u003c\/b\u003e An heiress takes a shine to the Boy after she sees him begging on a street corner.

They remained married until her death in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHAUNTED SPOOKS (1920):\u003c\/b\u003e In order to claim a large amount of money, Harold and Mildred must spend a night in a haunted house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAN EASTERN WESTERNER (1920):\u003c\/b\u003e The Boy is a spoiled New Yorker whose father sends him to a ranch out West to toughen him up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI DO (1921):\u003c\/b\u003e After they're asked to babysit some rowdy kids, Harold and Mildred realize they're not ready to have children of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eNEVER WEAKEN (1921):\u003c\/b\u003e After he overhears Mildred agreeing to marry another man, Harold decides to commit suicide.
