Henry Kendall, born 28th May 1897 was an English stage and film actor, theatre director and an immaculately stylish revue artiste.
He played the leading role of Reggie Ogden in the film The Shadow in 1933, and also starred in Alfred Hitchcock's 'bravest failure', Rich and Strange in 1931.

Other films that he appeared in include; Tilly of Bloomsbury (1921), The Flying Fool (1931), The House Opposite (1932), The Iron Stair (1933), The Man Outside (1933), Leave It to Blanche (1934), as Rodney Fleming in 1934’s Death at Broadcasting House, Twelve Good Men (1936), The Compulsory Wife (1937), School for Husbands (1937), The Butler's Dilemma (1943), as Mr Wilson in 29 Acacia Avenue (1945), The Voice of Merrill (1952), An Alligator Named Daisy (1955) and Nothing Barred in 1961.
