Biography

Usually billed as Anthony Holles, this prolific British character actor made his first movie appearance in 1921. Holles' more sizeable film roles of the 1930s included "Bonzo" in Star Reporter (1932), and a female-impersonator turn in Hotel Splendide (1932). The war years found Holles playing working-class types like Roy Todd in Thursday's Child (1943) and Sgt. Bassett in A Canterbury Tale (1946). Otherwise, Antony Holles was seen in fleeting, functional roles, most of which didn't even have character names: in his last film, The Rocking Horse Winner (1950), Holles is identified only as "Bowler Hat." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
