MINI BIO:
Small, slightly built, dark-haired, mustachioed Scottish actor who played wily, henpecked or mealy-mouthed little men. A member of a family variety act, he started his career before the turn of the century, as a boy vocalist singing 15 times a day in a waxworks. He is said to have made his film debut in a 1928 Hollywood film while on a trip to America, but became a British film regular after his role as Mr. Memory in Hitchcock's 1935 version of The 39 Steps. Went to Australia in the early 1950s.
