Jack Hobbs (actor)

Jack Hobbs (28 September 1893 – 4 June 1968) was a British stage and film actor who appeared in more than forty films. After making his debut in the 1915 silent The Yoke Hobbs appeared in a mixture of leading and supporting roles in both the silent and sound eras. He played the hero in several quota quickies of the 1930s, including All That Glitters (1936). He was cast as an effectively glib, smooth-talking antagonist in two George Formby films No Limit (1935) and It's in the Air (1938).

His West End appearances included The Dancers (1923) and Admirals All (1934).
