A&E Biography presents the true story of the gentleman behind the face of a monster.
After his legendary performance in James Whale’s 1931 thriller Frankenstein, actor Boris Karloff became forever linked with the image of cinematic horror. Yet behind the gaunt glare and distinctive lisp was the heart and manner of a cultured English gentleman.
Born William Henry Pratt in London in 1887, Karloff abandoned his formal studies early and used a modest inheritance to launch his acting career in Canada. After years of touring in stock companies, he finally found fame in his forties with his unforgettable portrayal of Frankenstein’s monster.
This in-depth profile explores how Karloff carried his craft beyond Hollywood—to Broadway, television, and radio—when the film industry moved on from horror. It also reveals his quiet courage offscreen, as one of the founding members of the Screen Actors Guild, risking both his livelihood and his freedom for fair treatment of his peers.
Featuring rare film clips, behind-the-scenes footage, and insightful interviews with Carol Burnett, Roddy McDowall, Anna Lee, directors Robert Wise and Peter Bogdanovich, horror historian Forrest J. Ackerman, and Karloff’s daughter Sara Karloff and Bela Lugosi Jr., this Biography captures the true story of a man whose humanity was far greater than the monsters he portrayed.
