"The screen is crowded with Americans trying to act like Englishmen, but Reg is the only Englishman we know of who tries to act like an American and gets away with it. His comedies are both typically American and very funny,"

Motion Picture, January, 1928

Reginald Denny, born Reginald Leigh Dugmore, (Nov 21, 1891, Richmond, Surrey, England, Died June 16, 1967, in Richmond, Surrey, England) first appeared on the stage at age seven in England, but left school at age 16 to pursue a theatrical career in earnest. In 1911, he came to America as a part of The Quaker Girl cast.

He returned to England in 1912, and, in the ensuing years, performed in India, Australia and the Orient. He married Irene "Renee" Haisman, a British musical comedy star, during this time and returned to the United States in 1914. He toured until 1917 when he went to New York to enlist with the Royal Flying Corps. Stationed in Hastings, England, the war ended before he completed his training.
