Belonging to a well-situated family, Charles Browning fell in love at
the age of 16 with a dancer of a circus. Following her began his
itinerary of being clown, jockey and director of a variety theater
which ended when he met D.W. Griffith and
became an actor. He made his debut in
Intolerance (1916).
Working later on as a director, he had his first success with
The Unholy Three (1925) (after
about 25 unimportant pictures) which had his typical style of a mixture
of fantasy, mystery and horror. His biggest hit was the classic
Dracula (1931), in which he also appears
as the voice of the harbor master.
