Tearle, Sir Godfrey Seymour (1884–1953), English actor. He made his first appearance at the age of 9 in the company run by his father Osmond
Tearle and rejoined it six years later, remaining until his father's death. In spite of his fine voice and natural authority he was slow to achieve recognition, but he was an ideal romantic hero and in 1920 scored a popular success in the dramatization of Robert Hichens's novel
The Garden of Allah. His finest part was Commander Edward Ferrars in Charles
Morgan's The Flashing Stream (1938; NY, 1939), though he was also much admired as Maddoc Thomas in Emlyn
Williams's The Light of Heart (1940). He achieved belated recognition as a Shakespearian actor with his Antony to the Cleopatra of Edith
Evans in 1946, repeating the role in New York in 1947, and with Othello and Macbeth at the
Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in the 1948–9 season. Other later roles included Hilary Jesson in
Pinero's His House in Order in 1951 and the title-role in Raymond
Massey's The Hanging Judge (1952).
