He appeared in a number of silent comedies for producer Hal Roach between 1925-1927, often teamed with James Finlayson. He also worked frequently with both Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel in the period just prior to their teaming. In 1929 he sued Oliver Hardy after an altercation during a game of billiards. Perhaps as a result of this lawsuit, Tyler Brooke did not work for Hal Roach again until 1942, after Laurel & Hardy had departed from the studio.
Suicide death caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
