Moore Marriott

George Thomas Moore Marriott (14 September 1885 – 11 December 1949) was an English character actor most notable for a series of films he made with Will Hay. His first appearance with Hay was in Hay's 1935 film Dandy Dick, but he was a major supporting star in Hay's films from 1936 to 1940, and while he starred with Hay during this period he played a character called "Harbottle" that was based on a character Marriott usually played. His character Harbottle was originally created by Hay when he used the character in his "The fourth form at St. Michael's" sketches in the 1920s.
