Biography

After sampling such professions as race-car driving and boxing, Briton Guy Rolfe turned actor in his early twenties. Rolfe made his first stage appearance in 1936, and that same year appeared fleetingly in his first film, Knight Without Armour (1936). The goateed, saturnine Rolfe alternated with ease between heroes and villains; he also brought as much commitment to such important roles as Caiphas in The King of Kings (1961) and Prince Grigory in Taras Bulba (1962) as he did to such negligible projects as Mister Sardonicus and Snow White and the Three Stooges (both 1961). Late in life, Guy Rolfe became a favorite of the slasher-movie crowd by appearing as insane puppet manufacturer Andre Toulon in the two Puppetmaster horror opuses. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
