Frank Henry "Alf" Goddard (28 November 1897 in
Brother of a famous boxer[who?], Alf Goddard was once a boxer too.[3] He was also a trained athlete and a professional dancer. He served in the army in World War I and when he was invalided out he worked on munitions. He made his stage debut in a musical hall act in 1916. His first appearance in films was as a stunt double where he did a number of risky jobs like jumping off bridges and swimming in rough seas. This led to him being given acting parts. Later he moved on to comedy roles.[citation needed]
