In addition to Keystone Kops movies, young Coy appeared in films of such stars as Pickford, Coogan, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. In 1925, he played the heroine's little brother in the original film version of "Stella Dallas."
His last film was 1930's "Puttin' on the Ritz," but his daughter said he never adapted to talkies.
