David Horne (actor)


David Edgar Alderson Horne was an English film and stage actor.

Biography

Horne began his film career in the 1930s, after a distinguished early career in the theatre. He was generally seen portraying pompous, self-satisfied characters. He never managed to rise to the "star" level in his silver screen acting career, but he was an indispensable character actor, and played many utility parts such as desk clerks, newspaper editors, police officials, lawyers and doctors. He continued his theatre work until his death in 1970.
In 1924 he married the former actress Renée Mayer. The marriage was later dissolved.
