Lester Matthews Overview:
Character actor, Lester Matthews, was born on Jun 6, 1900 in Nottingham, England. Matthews died at the age of 75 on Jun 6, 1975 in Los Angeles, CA .
MINI BIO:
Tall, dark British actor with receding hairline, slightly stooping gait, dashing moustache, and faintly bad-tempered countenance. These attributes combined to have him case as double-shaded characters in his days (1931-1934) as a popular leading man of early British sound films, before he went to Hollywood with his then-wife, actress Anne Grey. Here there were a couple of minor leads, but he always looked a little more than his real age, and soon buckled down to dozens of character parts, largely as military men or villains.
