Trevor Howard

Trevor Wallace Howard-Smith (29 September 1913 – 7 January 1988) was an English stage and screen actor. After varied work in the theatre, he achieved leading man star status in the film ''Brief Encounter'' (1945), followed by ''The Third Man'' (1949), portraying what BFI Screenonline called "a new kind of male lead in British films: steady, middle-class, reassuring…. but also capable of suggesting neurosis under the tweedy demeanour."

Howard was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor four times, winning for ''The Key'' (1958), and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in ''Sons and Lovers'' (1960). His other notable film performances include ''Golden Salamander'' (1950), ''The Clouded Yellow'' (1951), ''Mutiny on the Bounty'' (1962), ''The Charge of the Light Brigade'' (1968), ''Battle of Britain'' (1969), ''Lola'' (1969), ''Ryan's Daughter'' (1970), ''Superman'' (1978), ''Gandhi'' (1982), and ''White Mischief'' (1987). He was also an Emmy Award recipient, and a three-time Golden Globe nominee. Provided by Wikipedia
