For most viewers, Hartley Power is a face from the middle of the cast list, at home in the middle of an ensemble. 'Roman Holiday' is the most widely seen title on the filmography, with Mr. Hennessy as the role. 'Dead of Night' is the credit people reach for second. With 23 titles behind him, this is a working record rather than a highlight reel.

Hartley Power (1894–1966) was an American-born British film and television actor. He is best remembered for two roles: "Sylvester Kee" the ventriloquist who is shot and almost killed by "Maxwell Frere" (Michael Redgrave) as a rival for his "dummy"'s affections in Dead of Night; the chief of the news agency that Gregory Peck worked for in Roman Holiday.
