MINI BIO:
Ernest Thesiger was an eccentric British character actor, as emaciated as he was animated, who portrayed some memorably grotesque and sometimes quite frightening figures, most notably his Dr. Praetorius, the scientist who kept miniature beings in bottles, in "Bride of Frankenstein. Later, in post-war Britain, he played more routine roles although each had the distinctive Thesiger touch.

Ernest Thesiger Quotes:
Emperor Tiberius:
Tribune Gallio, you are a Roman officer. I command you to gain control over yourself.
Emperor Tiberius: When it comes, this is how it will start. Some obscure martyr in some forgotten province, then madness. Infecting the legions, rocking the empire, then the finish of Rome.
Horace Femm: We make our own electric light here, and we are not very good at it. Pray, don't be alarmed if they go out altogether
