Biography

Après des débuts au théâtre dans son pays natal, Ian Maclaren s'installe aux États-Unis et joue ainsi à Broadway (New York) entre 1911 et 1941, dans des pièces principalement.

Parmi elles, mentionnons Le Songe d'une nuit d'été de William Shakespeare (1915, avec Isabel Jeans et Ernest Cossart, puis 1932, avec Charles Dingle), ainsi que Sainte Jeanne de George Bernard Shaw (1923-1924, avec Morris Carnovsky et Henry Travers).

Toujours à Broadway, s'ajoutent trois revues, dont Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 (1913, avec Leon Errol).

Au cinéma (majoritairement américain, plus quelques films britanniques ou en coproduction), il débute dans trois films muets sortis en 1923 et 1924, dont Monsieur Beaucaire de Sidney Olcott (1924, avec Rudolph Valentino et Bebe Daniels).

Suivent trente films parlants, le premier étant La Fin du voyage de James Whale (coproduction américano-britannique, 1930, avec Colin Clive et David Manners). Puis il apparaît notamment dans Cléopâtre de Cecil B. DeMille (1934, avec Claudette Colbert et Warren William), Le Prince et le Pauvre de William Keighley (1937, avec Errol Flynn et Claude Rains) et Le Chien des Baskerville de Sidney Lanfield (1939, avec Basil Rathbone et Nigel Bruce).

Ses deux derniers films (britanniques, où il est crédité sous son nom de naissance) sortent respectivement en 1941 et 1947.

The 1939 adaptation alters history significantly by making Fouquet (Joseph Schildkraut) a thoroughly evil, scheming mastermind. He, Colbert (Walter Kingsford), d'Artagnan (Warren William) and the musketeers are the only ones who know of the existence of a twin brother, and Fouquet uses his influence to keep everyone silent. The main story was changed by portraying Louis XIV as selfish, cruel, and incompetent, and Philippe the kind-hearted brother who is raised by d'Artagnan and the musketeers and does not even know that he has an identical twin.
