Howard Vernon (born Mario Walter Lippert; 15 July 1908 – 25 July 1996) was a Swiss actor, who had an extensive career in French cinema which spanned nearly 200 productions over 55 years, between 1945 and 2000.[1] He was best known for his close association with cult filmmaker Jesús Franco, appearing in 40 of the director’s films, beginning with the titular character in The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962).[1][2]
A prolific character actor, Vernon also worked with many other prominent filmmakers, notably Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Melville, René Clément, Powell & Pressburger, Sacha Guitry, Fritz Lang, John Frankenheimer, Roger Vadim, Fred Zinnemann, Woody Allen and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. He was also active as a dubber.[3]
