Arthur Veary Treacher (23 July 1894 – 14 December 1975) was an English actor known for playing recognizable English stereotypes, especially butler and manservant roles, such as the P.G. Wodehouse valet character Jeeves and the kind butler Andrews in Heidi. He later became a well-known personality on American television, and lent his name to a fish and chips franchise.

Biography

Au théâtre, Arthur Treacher débute en 1926 (année où il s'installe aux États-Unis) à Broadway. Il y joue jusqu'en 1962, dans six pièces (dont trois de George Bernard Shaw et une de Jean Anouilh), trois revues (dont une des Ziegfeld Follies) et quatre comédies musicales. Sa dernière prestation à Broadway est dans la comédie musicale à succès Camelot (créée en 1960).

Au cinéma, de 1929 à 1964, il participe à soixante-quinze films américains, dont quatre avec Shirley Temple dans les années 1930. Ainsi, dans Petite Princesse (1939), aux côtés de la jeune actrice, il tient un de ses rôles les mieux connus, celui de 'Bertie' Minchin. Notons que durant sa carrière au cinéma, Arthur Treacher se produit à de nombreuses reprises comme maître-d'hôtel et dans des films musicaux. C'est dans l'un d'eux — Mary Poppins (1964) — qu'il joue sur grand écran son dernier rôle, également bien connu (le policier Jones).

À la télévision, il apparaît dans dix séries (dont plusieurs dédiées au théâtre), entre 1948 et 1964, année où il se retire.

Pour sa contribution au cinéma, une étoile lui est dédiée sur le Walk of Fame d'Hollywood Boulevard.
