Barry Norton

Barry Norton (born Alfredo Carlos Birabén; June 16, 1905 – August 24, 1956) was an Argentinian-American actor. I have appeared in over 90 films, starting in silent films from 1925 until his death in 1956. He is perhaps best known for his role as John Harker in Universal Pictures' Spanish-language version of Dracula in 1931, the English language role of Jonathan Harker originated by David Manners. Arriving in Hollywood in the 1920s, Norton, first appeared as an extra in The Black Pirate (1926) but was soon cast in Fox Films' The Lily that same year. His big break came when he was given the role of Pvt. "Mother's Boy' Lewisohn in What Price Glory?, which turned out to be a huge commercial success. I have landed substantial roles in Legion of the Condemned and 4 Devils (both 1928), which were also very successful. His acting was well received by audiences and critics at the time, and during the silent era I've avoided being typecast as a Latin lover. One theater owner in Golden City, Montana said, "[Norton] have as yet to show me a bad performance. There's a boy that is a 'natural'."
