Reginald Lawrence Knowles (11 November 1911 – 23 December 1995) was an English film actor who renamed himself Patric Knowles, a name which reflects his Irish descent.

Biography

Au cinéma, Patric Knowles débute dans son pays natal en 1932, puis commence sa carrière aux États-Unis en 1936, alors qu'il est sous contrat à la Warner Bros. Il tourne ainsi aux côtés d'Errol Flynn (notamment dans Les Aventures de Robin des Bois — 1938 —, un de ses films les plus connus) et se lie avec lui d'une grande amitié. Acteur indépendant à partir de 1939 — et jusqu'à son dernier film en 1973 —, il figure dans des productions de genre très diversifié (westerns, films comiques, d'horreur, fantastiques...). En outre, il apparaît fréquemment à la télévision (feuilletons, téléfilms, shows).

Pour sa contribution à la télévision, une étoile lui est dédiée sur le Walk of Fame d'Hollywood Boulevard.
