Guy Standing
Sir Guy Standing, KBE (1 September 1873 – 24 February 1937) was an English actor. Standing served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve throughout the First World War, reaching the rank of commander. He was seconded to MI6, but transferred to the Ministry of Information in December 1917. In 1918, he was part of the British War Mission to the United States. For this service, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1918 and raised to Knight Commander (KBE) in 1919. After becoming a noted actor in British and American theatre, he moved to Hollywood in the early 1930s, appearing in Paramount films. His best-known role is probably that of Colonel Stone in Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935). [biography (excerpted) from Wikipedia]
