Alexander Knox (1907-1995) was a distinguished stage and screen
actor, who is best remembered today for his title performance in
the 1944 production of Wilson. He was active both in London's West
End and on Broadway, and began his Hollywood career in 1941 with
The Sea Wolf. Because of his liberal activities in the film
community, including co-founding of the Committee for the First
Amendment, Knox was "grey-listed," and forced to settle permanently
in the United Kingdom, where he became a familiar figure both in
films and on television. On Actors and Acting collects together
Knox's writings, published and unpublished, on various performers
with whom he worked or was familiar, and on the art and craft of
acting. Knox writes on Laurence Olivier, a close personal friend
with whom he appeared in the memorable 1940 production of Romeo and
Juliet. He discusses his performance as Wilson. Other actors and
actresses about whom Knox has many original things to say include
Sara Allgood, Dana Andrews, George Arliss, and Walter Huston.
Anthony Slide, a film historian and a personal friend of Alexander
Knox and his wife, actress Doris Nolan, edited On Actors and
Acting. Slide contributes a lengthy career overview and has also
compiled a complete filmography, documenting Knox's screen career
from his first film, The Gaunt Stranger in 1938, through his last,
Joshua Then and Now in 1985.
