This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | William Claude Rains was a British character actor (1889-1967) and one of the most significant actors working in films in the middle of the twentieth century. Born in the Camberwell section of London, he overcame the handicaps of a Cockney accent and a lisp to become a notable stage actor under the tutelage of the famous actor-manager, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who helped him to pay for elocution lessons. Ironically, his beautiful voice and the flawless diction he had acquired landed him his breakout role as the title character of the 1933 film of The Invisible Man -- a film in which his face does not appear until the closing scene. This part is referenced in a line from the opening number of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and in Heroes, where another invisible man is named for him. |
