Editing Wallace Beery (section)

===Villainous roles===
In 1917, Beery portrayed [[Pancho Villa]] in ''[[Patria (1917 film)|Patria]]'' at a time when Villa was still active in [[Mexico]]. (Beery reprised the role 17 years later in ''[[Viva Villa!]]''.)

Beery was a villainous German in ''[[The Unpardonable Sin]]'' (1919) with [[Blanche Sweet]]. For Paramount, he did ''[[The Love Burglar]]'' (1919) with [[Wallace Reid]]; ''[[Victory (1919 film)|Victory]]'' (1919), with [[Jack Holt (actor)|Jack Holt]]; ''[[Behind the Door (film)|Behind the Door]]'' (1919), as another villainous German; and ''[[The Life Line]]'' (1919) with Holt.

Beery was the villain in five major releases in 1920: ''[[813 (film)|813]]''; ''[[The Virgin of Stamboul]]'' for director [[Tod Browning]]; ''[[The Mollycoddle]]'' with [[Douglas Fairbanks]], in which Fairbanks and Beery fist fought as they tumbled down a steep mountain; and in the noncomedic [[Western (genre)|Western]] ''[[The Round-Up (1920 film)|The Round-Up]]'' starring [[Roscoe Arbuckle]] as an obese cowboy in a well-received serious film with the tagline "Nobody loves a fat man." Beery continued his villainy cycle that year with ''[[The Last of the Mohicans (1920 American film)|The Last of the Mohicans]]'', playing Magua.

Beery had a supporting part in ''[[The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (film)|The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]]'' (1920) with [[Rudolph Valentino]]. He was a villainous Tong leader in ''[[A Tale of Two Worlds]]'' (1921) and was the bad guy again in ''[[Sleeping Acres]]'' (1922), ''[[Wild Honey (1922 film)|Wild Honey]]'' (1922), and ''[[I Am the Law (1922 film)|I Am the Law]]'' (1922), which also featured his brother Noah Beery Sr.
