edmund breon -lrb- 12 december 1882 -- 1951 -rrb- was a scottish film actor .
he appeared in 131 films between 1907 and 1952 .
born iver edmund de breon maclaverty in hamilton , south lanarkshire , he began in john hare 's touring company and later played on the west end stage and in glasgow , gaining prominence .
according to his grandson , film editor , breon `` started out at the turn of the century doing silent pictures in france .
vampire movies '' , so it is reasonably certain that maclaverty is indeed the actor who appeared under the name edmond bréon in many gaumont films 1907-1922 including , most famously , playing the part of inspector juve for `` louis feuillade '' in the ground-breaking `` fantômas '' series .
he did also appear in a small part in the 1915-1916 feuillade series `` les vampires '' although this is not , as his grandson supposes , a horror film .
he returned to britain where he made the film `` a little bit of fluff '' -lrb- 1928 -rrb- then went to canada in 1929 and worked on the land .
a year later he emigrated to the united states and gained his first big american film part in `` the dawn patrol '' -lrb- 1930 -rrb- .
his grandson also recalls that he played the role of dr. ambrose in howard hawks ' `` the thing from another world '' -lrb- 1951 -rrb- .
breon died in his native scotland in 1951 , aged 68 , although the date , cause and place are unknown .
