Thomas Percival Hayes (1879-1943), dit Rupert Julian, est un acteur, scénariste, réalisateur et producteur de cinéma américain d'origine néo-zélandaise.

Biography

Né Thomas Percival Hayes à Whangaroa , en Nouvelle-Zélande, Rupert Julian s'est produit au théâtre et au cinéma dans son pays natal et en Australie avant d'émigrer aux États-Unis en 1911, commençant sa carrière américaine dans le cinéma muet pour les studios Universal Pictures. Il commença la direction d'acteurs en 1915, dirigeant souvent sa femme Elsie Jane Wilson , mais son travail était plutôt routinier jusqu'à ce qu'on lui demande de terminer le film Merry-Go-Round en 1923 lorsqu'Erich von Stroheim fut remercié, puis en 1925 il dirigea Lon Chaney dans Le Fantôme de l'Opéra. Après l'avènement du parlant, sa carrière ne tarda pas à décliner, et, après avoir réalisé The Cat Creeps et Love Comes Along (tous deux en 1930), celle-ci s'arrêta.

Rupert Julian mourut à Hollywood (Californie) à l'âge de 64 ans et fut inhumé au Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery à Glendale, en Californie.
