Gerald Oliver Smith (June 26, 1892, London - May 28, 1974, Woodland Hills, California) was an English-born actor who spent most of his career in the United States, both in New York City as a stage actor and in the Hollywood film industry. Smith began his career on Broadway in 1916, appearing in, among other productions, three George Gershwin musicals: ''Lady Be Good'' (1924), ''Oh, Kay!'' (1928) and ''Pardon My English'' (1933). He also had bit parts in silent films, such as ''The Mysterious Miss Terry'' (1917), and went on to appear in talkies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. He began working in Hollywood in 1937, and was frequently typecast as a genteel butler or pompous English gentleman.〔(Gerald Oliver Smith ) at Allmovie〕 His film appearances included ''Casablanca'', ''National Velvet'', and ''One Hundred Men and a Girl''. Smith appeared in more than one hundred movies, often in small roles, and was not always mentioned in the credits. From 1952 to 1956 he made several television appearances. He retired to the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital late in life.〔 ==Filmography== *''The Mysterious Miss Terry'' (1917) *''School for Wives'' (1925) *''The Strange Case'' (1931) *''Kissing Time'' (1933) *''His Double Life'' (1933) *''The Man I Marry'' (1936) *''They're Off'' (1936) *''When You're in Love'' (1937) *''One Hundred Men and a Girl'' (1937) *''Top of the Town'' (1937) *''The Lady Escapes'' (1937) *''The Lady Fights Back'' (1937) *''Girl Overboard'' (1937) *''Behind the Mike'' (1937) *''Invisible Enemy'' (1938) *''Gateway'' (1938) *''Bachelor Mother'' (1939) *''Pride and Prejudice'' (1940) *''Kiddie Kure'' (1940) *''Puddin' Head'' (1941) *''The Singing Hill'' (1941) *''Federal Fugitives'' (1941) *''Casablanca'' (1942) *''Beyond the Blue Horizon'' (1942) *''Tish'' (1942) *''Mrs. Miniver'' (1942) *''Heaven Can Wait'' (1943) *''Forever and a Day'' (1943) *''The Man in Half-Moon Street'' (1944) *''Jane Eyre'' (1944) *''National Velvet'' (1944) *''Mrs. Parkington'' (1944) *''Knickerbocker Holiday'' (1944) *''Sunbonnet Sue'' (1945) *''The Sailor Takes a Wife'' (1945) *''Rainbow Over Texas'' (1946) *''Singapore'' (1947) *''Moss Rose'' (1947) *''Linda Be Good'' (1947) *''Her Husband's Affairs'' (1947) *''Enchantment'' (1948) *''That Forsyte Woman'' (1949) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerald Oliver Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
