Early life and education
[edit]Hernandez was born in Placerville, California, 15 years after the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.[1] He was educated in Oakland.[1]
Career
[edit]In 1888, Hernandez made his acting debut on stage at the old California Theatre in San Francisco.[1] In 1893, he joined the J.K. Emmet company which traveled throughout the United States and Canada.[1] He later became part of the resident company at the Francois Theatre in Montreal, and also appeared at the Grand Opera House in New York.[1]
From late 1897 through May 1899, Hernandez was a traveling Shakespearean actor with the Janet Waldorf Company, appearing in As You Like It and Romeo and Juliet.[citation needed]
Hernandez was a member of the William Nicholas Selig stock company, which pioneered filmmaking in Southern California. Later, he supported actress Myrtle Gonzalez in a series of popular outdoor adventures.[citation needed]
His first film, The Sanatarium, was made in 1910, preceding the existence of Hollywood studios.[1]
