Bruce Seton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Major Sir Bruce Lovat Seton of Abercorn, 11th Baronet (29 May 1909–28 September 1969), better known as Bruce Seton, was a British actor and soldier.

Seton was born in Simla, India, the second and youngest son of Lt-Col Sir Bruce Seton of Abercorn, 9th Baronet and his wife, Elma, and was educated at The Edinburgh Academy and Sandhurst. Seton's acting career began in 1935 when he starred in Ralph Ince's film, Blue Smoke. A brief interruption came to his career in 1940 when he was enlisted during World War II. His last role was as the voice of Beadle in The Wonderful World of Disney from 1962-63. On the death of his brother in 1963, without male heirs, Seton inherited the former's baronetcy. Seton had been married twice but also produced no male heirs and so on his own death in 1969, the title passed to his cousin, Christopher.
