Lumsden Hare: Sir John (uncredited)

Lumsden Hare was born on April 27, 1875 in Ireland as Francis Lumsden Hare. He is known for his work on Rebecca (1940), Gunga Din (1939) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941). He was married to Selene Johnson and Frances Mary Ruttledge (actress). He died on August 28, 1964 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA. IMDB

Born Francis Lumsden Hare in Tipperary, Ireland,[1] he appeared in more than thirty-five Broadway-theatre productions in New York City between 1900 and 1942. He served as director and/or producer for various productions, some starring himself. He started appearing in films in 1916. By his last screen appearance in 1961, Hare had appeared in more than 140 films and over a dozen television productions. He died, age 89, in Beverly Hills, California. www.wikipedia.com

Despite his Irish background, no one could play the typical British gentleman, or gentleman's gentleman, better than Lumsden Hare. There was definitely something aristocratic about the erect, dignified 6'1" Hare, who played the Prince Regent in The House of Rothschild (1934) and the King of Sweden in Cardinal Richelieu (1935), not to mention countless military officers, doctors, and lawyers. A leading man in his younger days to Ethel Barrymore, Maude Adams, Nance O'Neil, and Maxine Elliott, Hare made his screen debut, as F. Lumsden Hare, in 1916 and continued to mix film with Broadway appearances through the 1920s. Relocating to Hollywood after the changeover to sound, Hare became one of the era's busiest, and finest, character actors, appearing in hundreds of film and television roles until his retirement in 1960. www.allmovie.com
