Claude Rains

There aren't that many Claude Rains Videos. Probably Because he is an old time actor. I decided that it was high time someone made one. Claude Rains was also in "The Adventures of Robin Hood", opposite to Errol Flynn. Unfortunatly I could not find any pics for it. The song is Speed of Sound by Coldplay.

27 and I love Claude Rains; I fell in love with him when I was 15.

[alliewolfgal]

I was around 5 when I first saw him in casablanca and Robin hood.

[filmaddict818]

a great leading actor and a great supporting actor.

[alliewolfgal]

so very true.

[BarrelofGin]

Claude Rains had such a great voice: raspy and venomous, yet sweet and kind.

[alliewolfgal]

yes that and much more, the perfect person to play the phantom of the opera and the invisible man!

[sickkat44]

truly one of the greatest, most underrated and forgotten actors ever! he could be funny as hell, serious or just greasy and evil. his presence is welcome in every picture he made. from universal horror movies to casablanca and robin hood. he played every character to the hilt, and with great subtext. truly an actors actor!

Put up some beautuil music instead, please. A beautiful man deserves classical music!

[oldgoodrobert]

He was fantastic in The Invisible Man.

@alliewolfgal Great films. I recommend COME HERE, MR. JORDON (1941), THE WOLF MAN (1941), and MR. SKEFFINGTON (1944), too.

@escottish140 I was 10 when I first discovered him; I'm having a Rains Renaissance at age 37.

I'm 14, fell in love with this man's acting skills at age 7. Best actor I have ever watched.

Nicely done, Claude Rains was brilliant, a favorite of mine for many many years. If anyone gets a chance to see him at his best, look for the movie Deception with Bette Davis. It's a classic!!!!!

A great actor... But why didn't you use pictures of him in Notorious or Mr. Smith goes to Washington ? Anyway, it's good to see that actors of his level aren't forgotten.

Totally untrained as an actor. Worked in the theater, literally, to support his family from the time he was 11. Worked his way up in the theater, absorbing everything, eventually getting bit parts, then bigger, winding up as an instructor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art -- where he taught, among others, Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud. Could've been the greatest stage actor ever if he wanted, but was, to me, the greatest character ever in film. Perfect!

[TCall2004]

WONDERFUL ACTOR....and one of my favorite songs. Thank you!

[jtierney1963]

The greatest character who ever lived and, arguably, among the 10 greatest actors of all time. Doesn't get half the respect he so richly deserves. A perfect actor!

To think: This is the man that taught Olivier to act!
