H. B. Warner
H. B. Warner (26 October 1875, London - 21 December 1958, Woodland Hills, California) was a British actor, born Henry B. Warner. Warner's father was an actor, and, although young Henry had initially thought to study medicine, he eventually followed in his father's footsteps and performed on the stage.
Warner began his film career in silent films in 1914, when he debuted in The Lost Paradise . He played lead roles, culminating in the title role of The King of Kings in 1927. Following that film, he was only cast in dignified roles, in such movies as A Tale of Two Cities, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Lost Horizon (for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor), You Can't Take It With You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Rains Came, The Corsican Brothers , It's a Wonderful Life, Sunset Boulevard (in which he played himself) and The Ten Commandments.
Warner has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6600 Hollywood Blvd.
