Robert Warwick (October 9, 1878 – June 6, 1964) was a film actor with over 200 film appearances.

A prominent matinée stage and silent film star with handsome features offset only slightly by a prominent proboscis, actor Robert Warwick was born and raised in Sacramento, California, his christened name being Robert Taylor Bien. The gift of music was instilled at an early age (he sang in his church choir) and initially prepared for an operatic career. Studying vocally in Paris, he abandoned legit singing for acting after being hired in 1903 to understudy in the Broadway play "Glad of It". He grew quickly in stature in such popular stage showcases as "Vronsky" in "Anna Karenina" (1907), and was a strong presence in the musical operettas "The Kiss Waltz" (1911) and "The Princess" (1912), the latter featuring his first wife, actress Josephine Whittell. With effortless charm, Warwick segued into romantic star film roles playing dashing leads in Alias Jimmy Valentine (1915), Face in the Moonlight, The (1915), Heart of a Hero, The (1916), in which he portrayed Revolutionary War hero "Nathan Hale", Mad Lover, The (1917) and Girl's Folly, A (1917). At one point, he even formed his own production company, Robert Warwick Film Corp. The company produced four films before Warwick temporarily left Hollywood to serve in WWI as an infantry captain in 1917. In the 1920s, he shifted between Broadway and film leads. His well-modulated voice proved ideal for sound pictures where he subsequently enjoyed a long career (over 200 films) in grand, authoritative character parts. Among his plethora of movie roles were "Neptune" in Night Life of the Gods (1935), "Colonel Gray" in Shirley Temple's Little Colonel, The (1935), "Sir Francis Knolly" in Mary of Scotland (1936) and "Lord Montague" in the Norma Shearer/Leslie Howard (I) starrer Romeo and Juliet (1936). He also was seen to fine advantage in several of Errol Flynn (I)'s rousing costumers such as Prince and the Pauper, The (1937), Adventures of Robin Hood, The (1938), Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, The (1939), and Sea Hawk, The (1940). A grand, stately gent, he was often seen impersonating high-ranking war figures, dapper businessmen or stern but benevolent father figure types. The legendary Preston Sturges utilized his services, including small roles in Great McGinty, The (1940), Christmas in July (1940) and Lady Eve, The (1941), before handing him a standout part as an avuncular studio mogul in Sullivan's Travels (1941). For the most part, however, Warwick was humbled into playing smaller, serviceable roles in adventures and crime drama with many of these characters embracing unyielding traditionalist values. Other exceptions to this rule were his hammy, downtrodden Hollywood actor "Charlie Waterman" in In a Lonely Place (1950) and his dying tycoon in While the City Sleeps (1956). Warwick continued performing well into his 80s. Primarily on TV in his twilight years, he was spotted frequently on such programs as "Twilight Zone, The" (1959), "Maverick" (1957) and "Dr. Kildare" (1961). Divorced from his first wife, he survived his second, actress Stella Lattimore (1905-1960), before dying in 1964 following an extended illness. He had one daughter, who bore him two grandchildren, and was buried at Holy Cross Cemetary in Los Angeles.
