Biografia
Patrick W. Fitzegarld (nom real de l'actor)[2] va néixer al comtat de Cork, Irlanda fill de Maud V. Hale i de l'actor Daniel Fitzgerald. Va fer el seu debut teatral com un actor infantil en una gira amb la companyia del seu pare.[3] Educat a Dublín i Londres, més tard va assistir a l'Ardingly College de Sussex.[4] El 1912 es va casar amb Victoire Lowe, amb qui tindria dos fills. Va emigrar als Estats Units el 1913, amb una companyia dirigida per Gertrude Elliott que representà a Broadway l'obra “The Dawn of Tomorrow”[3] on apareixia amb el nom de Pat Creighton Hale,[4] que més tard escurçaria com a Creighton Hale. Després actuaria a les companyies de Hunter Bradford, Andrew Mack i Ben Greet en diferents parts del país.[4]
Entretant, va debutar a la pantalla en un rol menor amb el serial “The Million Dollar Mistery" (1914) de la Thanhouser.[3] Mentre actuava a l'obra teatral “Indian Summer” a Broadway va ser vist per un director de la Pathe Film Company.[5] Apareixeria a “The Exploits of Elaine” (1914) protagonitzada per Pearl White i en les seves seqüeles “The Romance of Elaine” (1915) i “The New Exploits of Elaine” (1915). Hale va tenir papers secundaris destacats en pel·lícules com “Way Down East” (1920), “The Idol Dancer” (1920) i “Orphans of the Storm” (1921), totesde D.W. Griffith i més tard va protagonitzar pel·lícules com “The Marriage Circle” (1924), “The Cat and the Canary” (1927) o “Seven Footprints to Satan” (1929).
Amb l'arribada del sonor passà a interpretar rols molt menors sovint sense sortir als crèdits.[6] Va fer diverses aparicions a la sèrie “Our Gang” de Hal Roach ("School's Out", "Big Ears", "Free Wheeling"), i també va interpretar papers sense acreditar en importants pel·lícules sonores com ara “El falcó maltès” (1941) i “Casablanca” (1942).
