(b. Champaign County, Illinois, 16/08/1874? – d. Los Angeles, 29/07/1939?) Ray Brown played Captain (later Commander) Good in [[H. Lisle Lucoque]]’s [[King Solomon’s Mines]] (1918) and [[Allan Quatermain]] (1919) and also had an unidentified role in [[With Edged Tools]] ([[Joseph Albrecht]]/1919). Because his name is not exactly uncommon, it’s difficult to work out where he came from or what became of him. However, there was an American actor called Raymond Brown (1874-1939) who would have been about the right age (44) to play the part of Hood. As far as the IMDb is concerned, his film career stretches from 1929 to 1939. They list 69 titles for him, mostly in small, supporting roles in which he frequently went uncredited, but including works by directors such as William Dieterle and Fritz Lang. (FO)

-(b. Champaign, Illinois, 16/08/1874 – d. Los Angeles, 29/07/1939).  American stage and film actor.  Ray A. Brown (later Raymond Brown) was educated at the University of Kansas and apparently graduated with a law degree, but instead turned to the stage.  In December 1917 he sailed for South Africa and appeared in plays and revues, including ''[[Follow My Leader]]'' at the [[Empire Palace of Varieties]] and ''[[Turn to the Right]]'' at [[His Majesty's Theatre]], both in Johannesburg.  [[H. Lisle Lucoque]] picked him to play Captain (later Commander) Good in ''[[King Solomon's Mines]]'' (1918) and ''[[Allan Quatermain]]'' (1919).  This was followed by an unidentified role in ''[[With Edged Tools]]'' (1919), directed by [[Joseph Albrecht]].  Albrecht was also set to direct ''[[The Adventures of a Diamond]]'', a planned 14-part serial, but this project seems to have been abandoned.
+(b. Champaign, Illinois, 16/08/1874 – d. Los Angeles, 29/07/1939). American stage and film actor.
-In July 1919 Brown returned to the United States via France and at first resumed his theatrical career.  His first American film part seems to have been in ''Lady for a Day'' (1933), directed by Frank Capra, and he went on to act in numerous films. According to the IMDb his film career stretched from 1933 to 1939, which was the year he died.  Although he usually played small, supporting roles in which he frequently went uncredited, the directors he worked with included the likes of W.S. Van Dyke, William Dieterle, Fritz Lang and Busby Berkeley.  (FO)
+In December 1917 he sailed for South Africa to join the touring [[American Dramatic Company]].  His first appearance was in ''[[Daddy Long-Legs]]'', but further stage appearances fell by the wayside because [[H. Lisle Lucoque]] picked him to play Captain (later Commander) Good in the film versions of ''[[King Solomon’s Mines]]'' (1918) and ''[[Allan Quatermain]]'' (1919).  This was followed by an unidentified role in ''[[With Edged Tools]]'' (1919), directed by [[Joseph Albrecht]].  In between and after his film commitments he acted for the [[London Gaiety Company]] in ''[[High Jinks]]'' and subsequently in ''[[The Girl in the Taxi]]'', ''[[Very Good, Eddie]]'', ''[[Silent Witness]]'' and ''[[Follow My Leader]]'', the latter a revue staged at the [[Empire Theatre]].
