Character actor, Ian Hunter, was born on Jun 13, 1900 in Cape Town, South Africa. Hunter died at the age of 75 on Sep 23, 1975 in London, England .

MINI BIO:

Tall, solid, pleasant, light-haired South African-born leading man who had long careers in Britain and Hollywood, mostly as quiet dependable types. Although perhaps not dynamic enough to become a top star, his range was wider than his constant casting as "other men" or members of the aristocracy would suggest and he gave a fascinating performance as the Christ-figure in Strange Cargo (1940).
