Biography

Hawk-nosed character actor Guy Bates Post enjoyed a long and distinguished career on Broadway that included such major successes as The Virginian (1904), opposite future screen star Dustin Farnum; Omar the Tent Maker (1914), in the title role; and The Masquerader (1917), in a complicated dual role. Post starred in moderately successful screen versions of the latter two in 1922, but a third film, Gold Madness (1923), from a James Oliver Curwood story, proved a flop. His stage career waning, Post resettled permanently in Hollywood in 1935 and went on to appear in several highly visible character assignments, including that of Emperor Louis Napoleon in Maytime (1937). He was the husband of character actress Violet Kemble-Cooper. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
