Percy Waram (1880-1961) was a British actor, best known for his long and distinguished career on the Broadway stage. Born in Kent, England, he began his stage career with Frank Benson's company before moving to the United States around 1914. He became a prominent figure in American theater, playing memorable roles such as Alfred Doolittle in "Pygmalion" and, notably, taking over the lead role of Clarence Day Sr. in the major hit "Life with Father". His portrayal of Cardinal Wolsey in "Anne of the Thousand Days" earned him the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play in 1949, solidifying his status as a first-rate character actor. Although his career was primarily focused on the stage, he also appeared in several films, including "One Night of Love" (1934), Fritz Lang's "Ministry of Fear" (1944), and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1945), demonstrating his versatility on the big screen as well.
