  • Trivia
    British character actor with basset hound-like features, who performed on stage in Shakespearean roles from the early 1900's. He made his London debut in Hamlet in 1909. During World War I, he served in the British Army and was wounded in action. He returned to the stage in 1918 and received much critical acclaim for his Horatio in "Hamlet", opposite John Barrymore in 1925. His output on screen was sparse, but he made a memorable Tiberius in the epic blockbuster Ben-Hur (1959).
