He and his more famous brother looked very much alike, which allowed Gaylord to occasionally serve as a double for Harold. In the 1920 comedy His Royal Slyness, Gaylord played a prince while Harold played a lookalike American commoner.
While on the set of Scarface (1932), either as a segment director or visitor (accounts differ), he was blinded in one eye by a flying splinter from a copper explosive squib cap.[2] Thus like his brother before him (losing part of his right hand to a prop bomb), being permanently maimed by an onset accident.
