Actor
Henry Irving
The first actor to be knighted, in 1895, which settled the question of whether the profession was respectable. Bram Stoker was his business manager for twenty-seven years.
Sir Henry Irving was an English actor-manager in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He established himself at the West End theatre the Lyceum. His long campaign to have theatre recognised as an art of equal importance with music and painting culminated when he was knighted in 1895, the first actor to be thus honoured.
