About
Sir Donald Wolfit was born in New Balderton, Nottinghamshire, England. He was an English actor, known for his touring productions of Shakespeare. He was especially renowned for his performance as King Lear. He first appeared in the West End in 1924, playing in The Wandering Jew but had limited success afterwards, though he played some major supporting roles at the Old Vic Theatre in 1930. He worked a good deal for the BBC, performing as King John and Volpone on television, and as Lear, Falstaff and Richard III for radio – as well as modern parts like Archie Rice in The Entertainer. He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1950 for his services to the theatre, and knighted in 1957.
