What was the name of a one time actor what invented sewing machine?

There seems to be a misunderstanding in your question. No actor invented the sewing machine.

While there were many inventors who contributed to its development, the person most often credited with the invention of the first practical sewing machine is Elias Howe in 1846.

There's a chance you might be thinking of another invention, or there may be a misunderstanding about the individual you are referring to. Could you please provide more information about the actor you are thinking of?
