Expand Full Bio
A darkly handsome actor from England, John Webb Dillon was a matinee idol with the Steinach-Hards stock company in Westchester, NY, before entering the pioneering film industry with Biograph, Edison, and Thanhouser, in the very early 1910s. Typecast as a smooth villain, Dillon played the Sheriff of Nothingham to William Russell's Robin Hood (1913) and was Tybalt to Theda Bara's Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (1916). In between the skullduggery, the busy actor found time to direct comedy two-reelers for various poverty row companies, keeping busy on both sides of the camera well into the sound era. The brother of actor/director Edward Dillon, John Webb Dillon should not be confused with supporting player Jack Dillon (1866-1937) or actor/director John Francis Dillon (1883-1934).
