Biography

Elegant British leading man Crauford Kent launched his American film career in 1915. Kent's more notable movie roles included Lolius in Mary Garden's 1917 filmization of Faust, and plot-motivating producer Hal Bentley in both the 1925 and 1929 screen versions of the George M. Cohan/Earl Derr Biggers stage hit Seven Keys to Baldpate. As the district attorney in the all-talking version of The Unholy Three (1930), it was Kent who exposed the true gender of "sweet little old lady" Lon Chaney Sr. Thereafter, Kent played featured roles as doctor, military officers, "other men" and the like in both features and 2-reel comedies. Busy right up to his death at the age of 72, Crauford Kent continued to essay such supporting parts as the Astrologer in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah (1949). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
