Tom Conway is the sort of actor who has treated acting as a trade rather than a spotlight. The career now covers more than 86 years. Of everything on the filmography, 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' is the work that traveled the furthest. Another entry worth naming is 'Peter Pan'. The early stretch of the career is the part least seen today. More of the credits fall under adventure than under anything else.

Tom Conway (born Thomas Charles Sanders, 15 September 1904 – 22 April 1967) was a British film, television and radio actor remembered for playing private detectives (including The Falcon, Sherlock Holmes, Bulldog Drummond, and The Saint) and psychiatrists. He is perhaps best known for playing "The Falcon" in ten of the series' entries, taking over for his younger brother, George Sanders, in The Falcon's Brother (1942), in which they both starred. He is also well known for his appearance in several Val Lewton films.
Conway was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution (1917), the family moved to England, where he was educated. In England, he appeared in several plays with the Manchester Repertory Company and performed on BBC Radio.
