Biography

Born in London, England on August 11, 1868, Norton was active on both stage and screen, his theater performances were on both the London and Broadway stages,[1] and his film career spanned both the silent and "talkie" eras in Hollywood. During his thirty-year film career, he appeared in at least ninety films.[2] Many consider his most memorable role to be that of Poole, the butler to Dr. Jekyll in the 1931 classic, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—a role he had been playing on-stage since 1898, opposite Richard Mansfield as Jekyll.[3] He died in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles in February 1953.

Filmography

(Per AFI database)[2]

gollark: Just because both sides don't like something doesn't make it good.
gollark: You just get politicians focusing on a small subset of states which have lots of EC votes and are not always going to be a majority for one party.
gollark: So it does not, in fact, provide equally powerful voices per state.
gollark: > Why should states remain in the nation if they aren't having an equally powerful voice? For example, why should Iowa stick around if they're just subservient to California's whims?Don't different states have different amounts of electors?
gollark: The electoral college appears to do something you could approximately describe as that but which is weirdly skewed in some ways.
