- Actor

Born in Manchester, England, comic Ralph Lynn (pronounced "Rafe") got
his start on the stage, specializing in playing stiff, prissy, silly
twits. He came out of the renowned Aldwych Theatre in London, with a
tight-knit group that included
Tom Walls and
Ben Travers. Their long string of
successes there opened the door to the movie industry, and they easily
transferred their routines to films in the 1930s. Hie film career
started to wane in the late 1930s, though, and his last film was
For Valour (1937).
