George Davies Harley
George Davies Harley (died 1811) originally George Davies, was an English actor and poet.
==Life==
Harley was, according to one account, a tailor, and according to a second, a banker's clerk, and then a clerk in lottery offices. He received acting lessons from John Henderson, and made his first appearance on the stage as Richard III on 20 April 1785 at Norwich.
Becoming known as the "Norwich Roscius", Harley was engaged by Thomas Harris for Covent Garden Theatre, where he appeared as Richard 25 September 1789. In the course of this and two or three following seasons he played Shylock, Touchstone, King Lear, and Macbeth, and took original characters in plays of William Hayley and other writers. For career reasons he withdrew into the provincial theatres; but returned to Covent Garden, where he remained for four seasons. He then once more went into the provinces, and played old men in comedy with success at Bristol in 1796–9, and then at Birmingham, Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and elsewhere. In 1802 he supported Sarah Siddons in her farewell visit to Dublin.〔
Harley died at Leicester, 28 November 1811.〔
