Lennox Pawle, a jovial and stout individual, is most notably remembered for his captivating, albeit short-lived, portrayal of the 'pixillated' Mr. Dick in MGM's timeless classic, David Copperfield, released in 1935.
Prior to his film career, Pawle had a rich background in the entertainment industry, having begun his stage career in his native England in the 1890s as a comedic actor and member of the esteemed Maude Adams Playhouse Company.
With significant experience under his belt, Pawle arrived in the United States in 1910, quickly attracting supporting roles on Broadway in long-running hit plays such as "Grumpy" and "Monsieur Beaucaire".
Although he made occasional appearances in films, Pawle tended to prioritize his stage career, only occasionally taking on roles on the silver screen. One notable exception was his portrayal of Samuel Pepys in The Glorious Adventure, released in 1922.
However, in 1929, Pawle's film career began to gain momentum, as he made three films for Fox. Despite this, his appearances on the big screen remained relatively infrequent and brief throughout the following decade.
Tragically, Lennox Pawle's life was cut short when he succumbed to a cerebral hemorrhage on February 22, 1936.
