William Holmes (actor)
William Holmes, actor - The Bushwackers 1951
William Holmes is an American actor known for Daughter of the Sun God (1962), The Bushwhackers (1951) and In Old Amarillo (1951).
Career
Holmes, heir to the Fleischmann's Yeast fortune, wanted to be an actor, so his father footed the bill for him to star in the early 1950s film Daughter of the Sun God. The movie was so bad, however, that it took nearly a decade for it to be released. By that time, the actor was already out of the business.
In 1950, he acted in the musical Careless Rapture at the Dudley Hippodrome in Dudley, West Midlands, England, with Barry Sinclair, Mary Allen, Arthur Hosking, Muriel Barron, Joan Norman, and Charles Gillespie in the cast.
