Charles Stanton Ogle (June 5, 1865 – October 11, 1940) was an American silent film actor.
Born in Steubenville, Ohio, Ogle first performed in live theatre, making his first appearance on Broadway in 1905. He embarked on a career in film with Edison Studios in The Bronx, New York in 1908, appearing in The Boston Tea Party directed by Edwin S. Porter. He went on to portray the monster in the first film version of Frankenstein (1910), and starred in the first ever serial film, What Happened to Mary? (1912). He went on to become a prolific character actor, making the last of his more than 300 film appearances in 1926.

Charles Butt Stanton (7 April 1873 – 6 December 1946) was a British politician. He served as an Independent Labour Member of Parliament (MP) from 1915 to 1922.
Stanton began his political career as a miners' leader at Aberdare where he was a prominent ember of the Independent Labour Party. In 1904 he was elected to the Aberdare Urban District Council as a member for the Aberaman Ward. A militant, he was critical of the more moderate approach adopted by the local Labour MP, Keir Hardie, whom he would succeed in 1915 as MP for Merthyr Tydfil, where he stood in a by-election against the Labour Party candidate, James Winstone, and was backed by the British Workers League. He supported the Lloyd George Coalition Government and in 1918 was elected on a National Democratic and Labour Party candidate for the new constituency of Aberdare, but was defeated in 1922 by an official Labour candidate, George Hall.
