My Take

I have a soft spot for character actors like Henry Hull. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he carried the lead in Universal's Werewolf of London in 1935, taking on a demanding monster role in the early days of Hollywood horror. What I appreciate is the shape of his career: a leading man on stage but a steady supporting presence on screen, the sort of actor who tightens a scene simply by appearing in it. He was never a flashy star, and that is precisely the appeal. Living from 1890 to 1977, he is a quiet witness to a golden age of film, and he deserves to be remembered with respect.
