Cronyn, Hume (1911–2003), Canadian actor, who trained for the stage in New York and made his début in Washington, DC, in 1931. A notable character actor, he made his name on Broadway in the 1930s with a series of outstanding performances including Elkus in Maxwell
Anderson's High Tor (1937) and Andrei in
Chekhov's Three Sisters (1939). In 1942 he married Jessica
Tandy and they frequently appeared together. In 1963 they starred in the first season of the
Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Cronyn playing Harpagon in
Molière's The Miser, Tchebutykin in
Three Sisters, and Willy Loman in Arthur
Miller's Death of a Salesman. They were together again in the 1965 season, in which he played Richard III. He returned to Canada in 1969 to play the title-role in Peter Luke's
Hadrian VII at the
Stratford (Ontario) Festival, where in 1976 he also played Shylock in
The Merchant of Venice and Bottom in
A Midsummer Night's Dream. In New York in 1972, and later on tour, he was the solo performer in
Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape. (For other appearances see
TANDY.)
