John Moulder-Brown

John Moulder-Brown

British actor John Moulder-Brown made an impressive, wide-eyed film debut as a child in 1958's A Cry From the Streets -- an appearance made even more impressive by studio publicity, which shaved several years off his age. Moulder Brown matured into one of the more intriguing juvenile performers of the '60s, often cast in roles calling for boiling intensity. By 1972, however, he was just another actor in just another horror film, Vampire Circus, while in 1973 he seemed lost amidst the decor and glittering star cast of Visconti's 4-hour Ludwig (1973). John Moulder Brown worked in films of lessening quality as the '70s and '80s progressed. He popped up in 1987 in the solid, substantial role of the Prince in Amy Irving's filmization of Rumpelstiltskin. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
