- Father of Clarence Badger Jr..
- Was working in a photoengraving studio in San Francisco in 1906 when the Great Quake hit. Among the buildings destroyed was the one that housed the studio he worked in. Now unemployed, he drifted to Los Angeles and got a job at another photoengraving studio, this one just down the street from the Mack Sennett studios. He got to know Sennett, and eventually was hired away from the photo studio as a gag writer and later director for Sennett.
- Directed two films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: Hands Up! (1926) and It (1927).
