description: "James Henderson Finlayson was a Scottish actor who worked in both silent and sound comedies. Balding, with a fake moustache, he had many trademark comic mannerisms—including his squinting, outraged double-take reactions, and his characteristic exclamation: \"D'ooooooh!\" He is the best remembered comic foil of Laurel and Hardy."
