Biography

Stout, hearty character actor Jack Raine specialized in light comedy and dramatic roles throughout most of his career. He made his first film in 1930 and his last in 1971, seldom rising above the supporting players' ranks but always remaining busy. His better-known screen assignments included Trebonius in Joseph Mankiewicz's Julius Caesar; his Broadway credits included the short-lived 1952 production Sherlock Holmes, in which he played Dr. Watson opposite Basil Rathbone's Holmes. Married three times, Jack Raine's wives included actresses Binnie Hale and Sonia Somers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
