'''William Miles Malleson''' ([[May 25]], [[1888]] – [[March 15]], [[1969]]) was a British [[actor]] and [[dramatist]], particularly known for his appearances in British [[comedy]] films of the [[1930s]] to [[1950s]]. Towards the end of his career he also appeared in cameo roles in several [[Hammer horror]] films.
Malleson was born in [[Croydon]], [[Surrey]], [[England]]. Despite his unassuming appearance, he was married three times, and had many relationships. In [[1915]], he married the aspiring actress [[Constance Malleson|Lady Constance Annesley]]. Like her, he was interested in social reform, one of his plays being on the subject of the [[Tolpuddle Martyrs]]. They were divorced in [[1929]] and Malleson later married Joan, who died in [[1956]]. His third wife was Tatiana Lieven.
