Biography

A debonair stage actor from South Africa who often sported an impressively florid mustache, Kenneth Hunter played the "other man" in several melodramas of the early 1910s, including The Ransom (1916) opposite Broadway star Julia Dean and Daredevil Kate (1916) opposite femme fatale Virginia Pearson (both produced in New York City). After more than a decade of stage work, Hunter returned to the screen in the late '30s, mainly playing ramrod-straight military officers: the commandant in Lancer Spy (1937), a general in The Little Princess (1939), and a brigadier general in The Red Danube (1949). He was also Sir Mortimer in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), Lord Tyrmanell in The Earl of Chicago (1940), and a mounted police inspector in The Lodger (1944). ~ Hans J.
