Louis James Calvert (25 November 1859 – 18 July 1923) was a British stage and early film actor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and an actor-manager. He is perhaps best remembered today for having created roles in plays by George Bernard Shaw and for appearing in ''King John'' (1899), the earliest known example of any film based on Shakespeare, ==Early life== Calvert was born in Manchester, Lancashire〔 one of eight children, and the third son, of the actors Charles Alexander Calvert and his wife Adelaide Helen (née Biddles) (baptised April 1836 - died 20 September 1921).〔(Family of John Biddles (b~1700) of Rothley, Leicestershire )〕 He was educated privately in Manchester and in Germany. Although actively discouraged by his parents from taking up acting as a career, Louis Calvert made his theatrical debut in Natal in South Africa in 1878 before moving on to appear in Australia and then returning to Great Britain in 1880. During the 1880s he trained at Sarah Thorne's School of Acting at Margate, Kent, and went on to appear with Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre in London and toured with Lillie Langtry in the United States.〔Richard Foulkes, ‘Louis Calvert (1859–1923)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; (online edn ), Jan 2008, accessed 9 April 2011〕
