Tom Conway Filmography

Tom Conway was a British film and radio actor, and elder brother of actor George Sanders. Conway was born to English parents as Thomas Charles Sanders in St. Petersburg, Russia. His younger brother was actor George Sanders, whom Conway strongly resembled physically and facially, and also, most notably, in his speaking-voice. A younger sister, Margaret Sanders, was born in 1912. At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution , the family moved back to England, where the brothers were educated at Brighton College. The two brothers tossed a coin to decide which would change his surname to avoid any... confusion with each other. Conway is remembered today for playing "The Falcon" in ten of that series' entries, taking over from his brother in The Falcon's Brother, in which they both starred. Conway also played Sherlock Holmes during the 1946–1947 season of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, following Basil Rathbone's departure from the series. In spite of managing an uncanny similarity to the sound of Rathbone's voice, he was not accepted as Holmes by the listening audience, and was replaced in the same year by John Stanley.
