description: "Billy Bevan was an Australian-born vaudevillian who became an American film actor. He appeared in more than 250 American films from 1916 to 1952. He died just before new audiences discovered him in Robert Youngson's silent-comedy compilations. The Youngson films mispronounce his name as \"Be-VAN\"; Bevan himself offered the proper pronunciation in a Voice of Hollywood reel in 1930: \"Bevan\" rhyming with \"seven\"."
