| biography:
| Film actor, born in London, UK. He studied at Epson College and at the Webber-Douglas School of Dramatic Art, then worked in repertory companies and as a film extra before being cast as the romantic lead in So This Is London (1938). He assumed his professional name in the 1930s, to avoid confusion with actor James Stewart. The success of the film The Man In Grey (1943) swept him to star status in Britain. Later films included King Solomon's Mines (1950), Beau Brummell (1954), North to Alaska (1960), and The Wild Geese (1977). He became a US citizen in 1956. |
