Jack Hobbs (28 September 1893 – 4 June 1968) was a British stage and film actor who appeared in more than forty films.[1] 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).[2] 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).[3]
