Background
He was famous for his roles in farce and in serio-comic melodramas, in a career that spanned more than four decades, and the first actor to have a West End theatre named after him. Eventually he retired to Brighton, where, after a long struggle with Bright's disease and a degenerative spinal illness, he died in July 1906 at the age of 76.
