Sir C. Aubrey Smith

Sturdy, dependable, and damned funny, Sir C. Aubrey Smith was the quintessential British character actor from the 1880's until 1950.

He was also a world class cricket player most of his life. He founded the Hollywood Cricket Club.

Does anyone else remember him? It seems like he appeared in every film from 1920 to 1950.

To be fair, the only British character actor at the time were Smith or Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
