Tom Conway

Tom Conway (1904-1967) was a British actor, renowned for his Hollywood career. He is primarily remembered for taking over the role of detective "The Falcon" from his brother George Sanders in ten films of the RKO series, between 1942 and 1946. Conway embodied the character with effortless elegance, making him a charming and sophisticated investigator.

Beyond "The Falcon," he distinguished himself in horror films produced by Val Lewton for RKO, playing key characters in classics such as *Cat People* (1942), *I Walked with a Zombie* (1943), and *The Seventh Victim* (1943). His acting style was characterized by refinement and an aura of mystery, often portraying elegant gentlemen with a dark or psychologically complex side. Despite a period of great popularity, his career declined in later years.
