You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Rex Lloyd Lease''' (February 11, 1903 &ndash; January 3, 1966) was an American actor. He appeared in over 300 films, mainly in [[Poverty Row]] [[westerns]].

==Biography==
Rex Lease arrived in Hollywood in 1924. He found bit and supporting parts at Film Booking Office (FBO), Rayart, and more, and was given the opportunity to play a few leads. His first film was ''A Woman Who Sinned'' (FBO, 1924).

Lease's earliest westerns were a pair of [[Tim McCoy]] silents at MGM, one of which was ''[[The Law of the Range]]'' (MGM, 1928) which had a young [[Joan Crawford]] as the heroine and Lease as the Solitaire Kid. McCoy and Lease became friends, and over the next dozen or so years, he appeared in seven more McCoy westerns.

He had a featured role in director [[Frank Capra]]'s ''[[The Younger Generation]]'' (Columbia, 1929), a tale of a Jewish family that moves to a more up-scale neighborhood.

He successfully made the transition to talkies, and starred in melodramas, action flicks, old dark house mysteries, and comedies, as well as a couple of western serials and about a dozen low-budget sagebrush yarns and outdoor adventures.((Citation needed |date=August 2019)) His work in the 1930s included six Western films for Superior Talking Pictures Corporation. Some featured cowboy music, and some had him paired with young actor Bobby Nelson.<ref>((cite book |last1=Pitts |first1=Michael R. |title=Poverty Row Studios, 1929-1940: An Illustrated History of 55 Independent Film Companies, with a Filmography for Each |date=2015 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=9781476610368 |page=375 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F8OSCgAAQBAJ&q=%22Rex+Lease%22&pg=PA375 |access-date=31 August 2019 |language=en))</ref>

In between lead roles, Lease featured parts in some B westerns. He was [[Hoot Gibson]]'s brother in ''[[Cavalcade of the West]]'' ([[Walter Futter]] Prod., 1936); Lease played the "Pecos Kid" in McCoy's ''[[Lightnin' Bill Carson]]'' (Puritan, 1936); played Col. [[William B. Travis]] in ''[[Heroes of the Alamo]]'' and he worked in a couple of [[Tom Tyler]]'s, ''Ridin' On'' (Reliable, 1936) and ''Fast Bullets'' (Reliable, 1936). Lease had the lead in the 1936 [[film serial]] ''[[Custer's Last Stand (serial)|Custer's Last Stand]]'' (1936).

Lease's finale as a star had him teaming up with [[Rin-Tin-Tin]] Jr. in ''[[The Silver Trail]]'' (Reliable, 1937).

Though no longer afforded star billing, he continued in smaller roles into the 1950s in films (recurring as the sheriff in four ''[[Ma and Pa Kettle]]'' movies) and on TV.

==Personal life==
In 1930, Lease pleaded guilty in a Malibu court to a charge of battery on actress and dancer [[Duncan Sisters|Vivian Duncan]].<ref name=":0" /> The charge resulted from his beating of Duncan at a home in Malibu Beach on July 7, 1930.<ref>((cite news |title=Vivian Duncan hurt in fight |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/59054324/the-los-angeles-times/ |access-date=September 11, 2020 |work=The Los Angeles Times |date=July 8, 1930 |page=22|via = [[Newspapers.com]]))</ref> He paid a $50 fine, insisting that she initiated the altercation. Duncan's brother, Harold, retaliated in August 1930, beating Lease in a hotel cafe in Hollywood.<ref name=":0">((cite news |title=Rex Lease beaten by Harold Duncan |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/59053137/rex-lease/ |access-date=September 11, 2020 |work=The Sacramento Bee |date=August 28, 1930 |page=3|via = [[Newspapers.com]]))</ref>

Lease was married at least five times.

==Death==

On January 3, 1966, Rex Lease was found dead by his son Richard on the kitchen floor at his [[Van Nuys, California]], home. He had died sometime between New Year's Eve and January 3.  The cause of death was undisclosed. Richard was later shot and killed at age 25 in a road rage traffic altercation with two teenagers.
