Roland Young (11 November 1887 – 5 June 1953) was an English-born actor. He began his acting career on the London stage , but later found success in America and received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the film Topper (1937).
The actors in this comedic tour de force are outstanding, and well cast. Roland Young and Billie Burke are pure comedy gold together. No one else could do vague, bemused, bewildered, bedevilled as well as these two. Pair them together, and you have a recipe for instant success.
