Eille Norwood (11 October 1861 - 24 December 1948) was a British actor who spent most of his screen career playing Sherlock Holmes.He was born Anthony Edward Brett in York, England. From 1921 to 1923 he played Holmes in forty-seven silent films (45 shorts and 2 features) directed by Maurice Elvey and George Ridgwell. Hubert Willis played Watson in nearly all these films. For the final Holmes film, however, Hubert Willis was replaced by Arthur Cullin. Given that some Sherlock Holmes stories had not even been written yet, Norwood stands as the actor who played Holmes the most times in existing stories. | Date Of Birth | October 11, 1861 |

| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | He chose his stage name because he had once been in love with a woman called Eileen or Eille, and he lived in Norwood, south London. |
| 2 | A distinguished stage actor who entered films in 1911, Norwood is chiefly remembered for being the most prolific actor ever to play Sherlock Holmes. He impersonated the famous sleuth in 45 two-reelers and two feature films between 1921 and 1923. Underplaying the part (unlike other members of the cast who failed to cope with the dynamics of screen acting and thus often outrageously overacted), caused the author Arthur Conan Doyle to publicly praise his performances. In 1923, Norwood returned to the West End stage in a Sherlock Holmes play written specifically for him and coasted in the part for many more years. |
