Cyril Delevanti
A character actor with a lengthy career that began in 1931 when he was 42 years old.
Most of his movie roles were uncredited bits. He appeared primarily in serials and 'B-horrors', for which dignified English gentlemen were continuously in demand as undertakers, coroners or townsfolk.
and then The Night of the Iguana (1964), as Deborah Kerr's elderly grandfather Nonno - 'the oldest working poet in the world' - for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination.
He was 75 but looked MUCH older (as he had done throughout his career)
Once I saw him in Iguana, I have always enjoyed spotting him in his "bit parts" and many TV appearances .
