}}Sam Baker (Taylor, Indiana; 7 May 1907– Abilene, Kansas; 8 May 1982) was an American actor who usually performed with Rudolph Valentino, Ramon Novarro, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin.[1]

This Indiana-born actor played the Link in the film The Missing Link (1927), whose imposing presence combined with the era's casual racism and its attendant limitations, made him a natural for early jungle flicks.{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}} His most easily recalled role may have been Hugo in Sherman S. Krellberg's notorious serial The Lost City (1935).{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}} His most memorable role was Queequeg in The Sea Beast (1926).{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}}

Baker's filmography is brief, as de sound era saw him move quickly from featured roles as African chieftains to bits as black convicts.{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}} His first screen appearance was in a genre project: he was the sworder in Douglas Fairbanks' The Thief of Bagdad (1924).{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=559}} In the sound remake of The Island of Lost Ships (1929), he played himself and received the smallest mention.{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}}

He died in Abilene, Kansas, in early May 1982.{{sfn|Soister|Nicolella|Joyce|2013|p=399}}
