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. Born in Horsforth, West Riding of Yorkshire, he made his film debut in 1933, and played either first or second film leads throughout his career. He appeared in films from the 1930s to the 1970s.

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.

Monsieur Barsac (Frank Cellier) is in a great deal of trouble - the Paris bank of which he is president is bankrupt, though nobody else knows yet. He tells his secret to his crony Dubois (George Hayes), since he needs his help. Dubois is to purchase an iron mine that is supposedly played out. However, Barsac's mining engineer has found rich, untapped deposits of ore. The mine is 51% owned by the widow Mrs. Granville (Henrietta Watson) and her daughter Madeleine (Viola Keats), who are deeply in debt to his bank. Barsac uses his stepson Paul (Patric Knowles) as an intermediary, since Paul is a friend of the family, particularly the beautiful Madeleine.
