Biografie:

Horace Raymond Huntley (23. April 1904 – 15. Juni 1990) war ein englischer Schauspieler, der von den 1930er- bis in die 1970er-Jahre in Dutzenden britischen Filmen mitwirkte. Er spielte außerdem den pragmatischen Familienanwalt Sir Geoffrey Dillon in der ITV-Fernsehserie „Upstairs, Downstairs“ und war in weiteren Fernsehsendungen zu sehen, darunter die Wodehouse Playhouse-Folge „Romance at Droitwich Spa“ (1975). Huntley wurde 1904 in Kings Norton, Worcestershire (heute ein Vorort von Birmingham), geboren und gab sein Bühnendebüt am 1. April 1922 am Birmingham Repertory Theatre in „A Woman Killed with Kindness“. Sein Londoner Debüt folgte am 22. Februar 1924 am Court Theatre in „As Far as Thought can Reach“. Anschließend übernahm er die Rolle des Grafen Dracula von Edmund Blake in Hamilton Deanes Tournee-Adaption von „Dracula“, die am 14. Februar 1927 im Londoner Little Theatre Premiere feierte und später ins größere Duke of York’s Theatre wechselte. Noch im selben Jahr wurde ihm die Chance geboten, die Rolle am Broadway erneut zu spielen (in einem von John L. Balderston überarbeiteten Drehbuch); als er ablehnte, ging die Rolle an Bela Lugosi. Huntley wirkte jedoch von 1928 bis 1930 in einer US-Tournee-Produktion des Deane/Balderston-Stücks mit, die die Ostküste und den Mittleren Westen der USA bereiste. „Ich habe die Rolle des Grafen Dracula immer als eine Jugendsünde betrachtet“, erinnerte er sich 1989. Nach „Dracula“ gab er am 23. Februar 1931 im Vanderbilt Theatre in „Der venezianische Glasneffe“ sein Broadway-Debüt. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Großbritannien wirkte er in zahlreichen West-End-Produktionen mit, darunter „The Farmer's Wife“ (Queen's Theatre 1932), „Cornelius“ (Duchess Theatre 1935), „Bees on the Boat Deck“ (Lyric Theatre 1936), „Time and the Conways“ (Duchess Theatre 1937), „When We Are Married“ (St. Martin's Theatre 1940), „Rebecca“ (Queen's Theatre 1940; Strand Theatre 1942), „They Came to a City“ (Globe Theatre 1943), „The Late Edwina Black“ (Ambassadors Theatre 1948), „And This Was Odd“ (Criterion Theatre 1951), „Double Image“ (Savoy Theatre 1956), „Any Other Business“ (Westminster Theatre 1958), „Caught Napping“ (Piccadilly Theatre 1959), „Difference of Opinion“ (Garrick Theatre 1963), „An Ideal Husband“ (Garrick Theatre 1966) und „Getting“. Zu seinen bekanntesten Filmen zählen „Married“ (Strand Theatre, 1967), „Soldiers“ (New Theatre, 1968) und „Separate Tables“ (Apollo Theatre, 1977). Außerdem spielte er an der Seite von Flora Robson in der Broadway-Produktion „Black Chiffon“ (48th Street Theatre, 1950). Huntley, der oft als überheblicher Bürokrat oder andere Autoritätsfigur besetzt wurde, war auch eine feste Größe im britischen Film. Zu seinen zahlreichen Auftritten zählen Filme wie „The Way Ahead“, „I See a Dark Stranger“, „Passport to Pimlico“ und „The Dam Busters“. In seinen späteren Jahren erlangte er große Bekanntheit im Fernsehen als Sir Geoffrey Dillon, der Familienanwalt der Bellamys in der beliebten Fernsehserie „Upstairs, Downstairs“ (LWT) aus den 1970er-Jahren. Huntley starb 1990 im Westminster Hospital in London.
