MINI BIO:
American Shakespearian actor with "noble Roman" profile, very dark hair, and piercing gaze. He played one or two distinguished roles in silents (including Julius Caesar in Cleopatra), then went back to the stage. He returned to Hollywood in 1935, white-haired but with profile in tact, for 15 years of austere character roles as abbots, doctors, and assorted saintly characters east and west, with so many wise aphorisms to hand that it hurt. Died from a heart attack.
