David Horne

David Horne (14 July 1898 – 15 March 1970) was a British film and stage actor. British actor and playwright David Horne began his film career in the 1930s, after a distinguished early career in the theatre. He was generally seen portraying pompous, self-satisfied characters. He never managed to rise to the "star" level in his silver screen acting career, but he was an indispensable character actor, and played many utility parts such as desk clerks, newspaper editors, police officials, lawyers, and doctors. He continued his theatre work until his death in 1970.
