Howard's appeal and screen image were well-summarized by Richard Attenborough, director of ''Film/{{Gandhi}}'', who said that he needed an actor to play Judge Broomfield who could convey British justice and fair play with a minimum of screen time, and naturally turned to Howard. That said, he was equally adept at [[EvilIsHammy scenery-chewing villains]], as his roles as Captain Bligh and Lord Cardigan demonstrate.

'''Trevor Howard''' (1913-1988) was a British actor.

Howard studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) in the 1930s and began a stage career before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII intervened. He served in the Royal Signal Corps, though the nature of his service remains controversial. In his lifetime, Howard was regarded as a war hero; it was posthumously revealed that he was discharged for mental instability.

Howard began acting in films with 1944's ''The Way Ahead'' and 1945's ''The Way to the Stars''. He came to the attention of Creator/DavidLean, who cast him as Alec Harvey in ''Film/BriefEncounter'' opposite Celia Johnson. Howard followed this with another Lean collaboration, ''Film/ThePassionateFriends'', playing a similar role. Despite becoming a star as a romantic lead, Howard was soon typecast as military officers.

Arguably Howard's most famous role is the unflappable Major Calloway in Carol Reed's ''Film/TheThirdMan'', which provided the template for his career. In movies like ''The Cockleshell Heroes'', ''The Key'' and ''The Roots Of Heaven'' he exemplified the StiffUpperLip British officer. Howard played against-type as the eccentric AntiHero of Reed's ''Outcast of the Islands'' and cameoed in ''Film/AroundTheWorldIn80Days''.
