About Ian Hunter (actor)

Ian Hunter was a South African-born British actor of stage, film and television. Hunter made his first trip to the United States because Basil Dean, the British actor and director, was producing Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal at the Knickerbocker Theater. It marked the start of a string of nearly 30 films for the studio. Hunter worked once more for Michael Powell (The Queen's Guards, 1961) and then retired in the middle of that decade after nearly 100 films.
