Boris Karloff, born William Henry Pratt, was a famous actor in horror films. Born in London & educated at the University of London, Karloffs first goal in life was to become a diplomat, but instead he fell into acting. In 1908, he travelled to Canada & the USA, changing his name to something more in keeping with his new vocation. He made several silent films, before appearing as the Monster in Frankenstein, the film that made his name. Karloff was a very fine actor who played a wide variety of roles in other genres besides horror. He gave an excellent performance in the 1934 John Ford epic The Lost Patrol. He also narrated the famous cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Due to an error in the credits, it is sometimes erroneously stated that Karloff sang the famous song Youre a Mean One, Mr. Grinch but this was in fact voice actor Thurl Ravenscroft. In contrast to the characters he played on screen, Karloff was known in real life as a very kindly gentleman who gave generously especially to childrens charities. Posters Of Boris Karloff
