Tod Slaughter(1885-1956)
- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
Tod Slaughter took to the stage in 1905 and made a name for himself as the
star villain of numerous Victorian melodramas which he toured around
England. Many of these were filmed cheaply in the 30s and 40s by
quota-quickie tzar George King. His ham performances are perfectly
suited to the material and the best of his films give the impression
that if the Victorians could have made features they would have looked
like this.
