Oscar C. Apfel (17 January 1878 – 21 March 1938), was an American film actor, director, screenwriter and producer. He appeared in 167 films between 1913 and 1939. He also directed 94 films between 1911 and 1927. Directing first for the Edison Company (Thomas A. Edison, Inc.) in 1911-12, where he made the innovative short film The Passer-By (1912) , in 1913 he became one of two main directors for the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company, the other being Cecil B. DeMille. Apfel's directorial collaboration with DeMille was a crucial element in the development of DeMille's filmmaking technique. In late 1914 Apfel left the Lasky Company and directed for various companies into the 1920s, gradually returning to acting.
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and died in Hollywood, California from a heart attack.
