== Biography ==

==Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance==

He was a member of the company of players recruited in England and brought to South Africa by [[Henry Harper]] in 1884. In Harper's opening production in the newly built [[Theatre Royal]] in Cape Town, he played "Charles Verner" in ''[[Faces in the Fire]]'' and "John Bull" in ''[[The Two Gregories]]'' (Dibdin). He presumably played other roles in the rest of the season.
