Al Ernest Garcia appeared in over 120 films between 1911 and 1938, many in supporting roles. Leo Carrillo and Warner Baxter were both actors who appeared in silent film westerns. In 1917, Garcia directed The Purple Scarf, but it was not his first film as a director. Garcia, a California boy, starred in several Mexican films and later portrayed Mexicans in American films. His roles were less prominent before the advent of sound film, but he continued as an actor until his death.

In The Circus (1928), Garcia portrayed the brutal circus director in The Circus (1928), the snobbish butler of the millionaire in City Lights (1931), and the factory operator in Modern Times (1936).
