Etienne Girardot Overview:

Character actor, Etienne Girardot, was born on Feb 22, 1856 in London, England. Girardot died at the age of 83 on Nov 10, 1939 in Hollywood, CA .

MINI BIO:

British actor (of French parentage) often seen as fussy, pernickety characters of minor authority. Despite having lived in California for many years, his film credits are almost all contained in the last seven years of the 1930s. There can't be many actors who started the major part of their film career at 77, but Girardot actually won something of a cult following for himself, especially as the feisty little coroner, Dr. Doremus, in the Philo Vance detective mysteries.
