Before there was Cary Grant, there was hunky House Peters. Silent superstar House Peters was born in Bristol in 1880, 24 years before Archibald Leach was born in Bristol (later to become matinee idol Cary Grant).
Peters was known to filmgoers as "The Star of a Thousand Emotions". He was voted Hollywood's most handsome man and his son House Peters Jr. became the face and body of Mr. Clean in Procter and Gamble cleaning product commercials. Both Peters were friends with Gene Autry.

I heard his second cousin Bungalow Peters was also an actor, though could never rise above bottom-of-the-bill.

Salomy Jane (1914) Interesting to note that this exciting, albeit primitive melodrama, was lost from 1931 to 1996 when a single copy surfaced in Australia. It is the last surviving film made by the California Motion Picture Corporation and also the only surviving film featuring Latino star Beatriz Michelena who plays Salomy. The film opens with a magnificent shot of Salomy emerging from inside a giant Redwood tree. The camera pans up this massive tree, highlighting the glorious setting among North Californian forests, stunning landscapes feature throughout. An amazing stunt was performed from uncredited Jack Holt in his screen debut, it cost him some broken ribs and the poor horse. With lots of strands to the story and of course standing out, rugged dashing hero House Peters , great entertainment!... "The Man" (Jack Dart) House Peters and Salomy, Beatriz Michelena
