Henry Daniell (March 5, 1894 – October 31, 1963) was a British-born actor who had a long career on stage and screen.
He is probably best-known for his performance as James Moriarty in the Woman in Green. He stared in countless other films such as The Great Dictator (With Charlie Chaplin) and The Body Snatcher (with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi) as well as two other movies in the Sherlock Holmes/Basil Rathbone series "The Voice of Terror" and "Sherlock Holmes in Washington" with fellow Moriarty George Zucco.
He had a small uncredited role as one of many formally-dressed extras in a scene in the 1964]] movie My Fair Lady. In the commentary on the DVD, at the moment he appeared onscreen in the non-speaking role, it was mentioned that the day he shot that one scene was "his last day on earth", as he died from a heart attack that very evening.
