Tall, balding and imposing American actor who followed his childhood friend Mildred Davis from Tacoma to Hollywood. Unashamedly a homosexual in his private life, he was employed by Harold Lloyd to be his personal secretary. The two were good friends, and Brooks ended up appearing in several films with Lloyd whilst he was with Hal Roach. Brooks has often been mistaken for Lincoln Stedman. Regarding his birthdate: The Social Security Death Index a pair of passenger lists give January 2, 1900. The CA Death Index says January 1, 1901.

Real name: Roy Charles Muhlenbruch Height: 6'4"
