George Zucco (January 19, 1886 – May 28, 1960) British stage actor who became the poor man’s mad doctor. Despite a successful Hollywood career as a supporting player in major films, he also starred in numerous poverty-row productions, often alongside Bela Lugosi and John Carradine. A memorable Professor Moriarty in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939), even he had the career sense to pull out of Return of the Ape Man (1944), although he still shared star billing and can be glimpsed in a few scenes as the thawed-out caveman. His numerous genre credits include The Man Who Could Work Miracles (1936), The Cat and the Canary (1939), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), The Mummy’s Hand (1940), The Monster and the Girl (1941), Topper Returns (1941), Dr. Renault’s Secret (1942), The Mad Monster (1942), The Mummy’s Tomb (1942), The Mad Ghoul (1943), The Black Raven (1943), Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943), Dead Men Walk (1943), Shadows in the Night (1943), House of Frankenstein (1944), The Mummy’s Ghost (1944), Voodoo Man (1944), The Flying Serpent (1945), Scared to Death (1947), Tarzan and the Mermaids (1947), and Who Killed Doc Robbin? (aka Sinister House, 1948). After becoming ill in the early 1950's, he was committed to a sanatorium for the remainder of his life.
