Hank Mann (født David William Lieberman 28. maj 1887, død 25. november 1971) var en russisk-født amerikansk komiker og stumfilmskuespiller. Mann er i dag primært kendt for at være en del af Keystone Cops og for sine biroller i flere af Charlie Chaplins film.
Karriere
Hank Mann blev født i Kublisjtjina i Vitebsk Guvernement i Det Russiske Kejserrige,[1][2][3] men emigrerede til New York City med sine forældre og søskende i 1891.[3] Andre kilder indikerer, at han blev født den 28. maj 1887 i New York, USA.
Mann var en af de første filmkomikere, og arbejdede først for Mack Sennett som en de oprindelige Keystone Cops,[4] og senere for producenterne William Fox og Morris R. Schlank i stumfilmkomedier. Han medvirkede bl.a. i en række mindre roller i Chaplins film, herunder Byens Lys (1931), Moderne tider (1936) og Diktatoren (1940). Med fremkomsten af tonefilm fortsatte han med at optræde i film af forskellige genrer, hvor han spillede en række mindre afgrænsede roller og baggrundsstatist i flere markante komedier og filmdramaer, herunder The Maltese Falcon (en af en gruppe journalister) og Mr. Smith Goes til Washington (som fotograf). Han medvirkede i enkelte af Jerry Lewis' filmkomedier i 1960'erne. Af de mere betydelige roller i tonefilm var som en forvirret hotelchef i komedie-mysteriet Crime by Night fra 1944 og som "glasdørmanden" i den korte Three Stooges'-film Men in Black. Han genforenede sig med Keystone-spilleren Chester Conklin som bartendere i Bob Hope-komedien Søn af Blegansigt fra 1952. Mod slutningen af sin karriere optrådte han hovedsageligt i tv.
Død
Mann døde af hjertesvigt den 25. november 1971 på Braewood Convalescent Hospital[4] i South Pasadena i Californien.[5] Han er begravet i Hall of David Mausoleum på Hollywood Forever Cemetery i Hollywood.
Udmærkelser
For sine bidrag til filmindustrien har Hank Mann en stjerne på Hollywood Walk of Fame på 6300 Hollywood Boulevard.[6]

Hank Mann, film comedian. From the back: "'Hank Mann, in 'Desire' To bear the name of E.Z. Pickins with a smile is an almost heroic task - yet Hank Mann, appearing in 'Desire,' goes so far as to add a flirtatious look to his smile! 'Desire,' is a Louis Bruston production for Metro, and it's all-star cast promises movie lovers a real treat. John B. Clymer and Henry R. Symonds are the authors of 'Desire' and also wrote the continuity. Rowland V. Lee is directing. The photographer is George Barnes and the Art Director J.J. Hughes."

Lobby card from the American romantic comedy film City Lights (1931) with Charlie Chaplin.
The Keystone Cops in a typical pose : Scene from In the Clutches of the Gang (1914) directed by George Nichols and Mack Sennett. The desk officer using the telephone is Ford Sterling. The policeman directly behind Sterling (in extreme background, left) is Edgar Kennedy. Next to Kennedy is an unknown William Frawley aged 27. The hefty policeman at extreme right is Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. The young constable with bulging eyes, fourth from right, is Arbuckle's nephew Al St. John. The casting of the Keystone police force changed from one film to the next; many of the individual members were per-diem actors who remain unidentifiable.
