Life and career
Lucy was the youngest of the six sons of architect and surveyor Donald Campbell (1830–1900) and his wife Lucy Elizabeth (née Speak; 1828–1922) of Church Lane, Hornfield Lodge, Tottenham. His parents married in 1853. Their youngest child and only daughter, Rose Lucy, was born in 1871. Arnold Lucy started his acting career in the late 19th century at the theatre, and it is stated that he performed on the fabled London West End stage over 1,200 times before making his film debut in the silent film The Devil's Toy (1916).[1]
Lucy played in over 40 British and American movies between 1916 and 1938, mostly in small roles. He often portrayed authoritan and dignified roles, most notable as Professor Kantorek, the nationalistic school teacher in All Quiet on the Western Front, who persuades his students to go into a horrible and deadly war. Beside his film career, he also played in 15 plays at the Broadway between 1912 and 1927. Arnold Lucy died in 1945 in California, aged 80.
