Victor Jory (November 23, 1902 – February 12, 1982) was a Canadian actor.

He was born in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada. He was the boxing and wrestling champion of the Coast Guard during his military service, and he kept his burly physique.

He toured with theater troupes and appeared on Broadway, before making his Hollywood debut in 1930. He initially played romantic leads, but later was mostly cast as the villain. He made over 150 films and dozens of TV episodes, as well as writing two plays.

He is remembered for his role as Jonas Wilkerson, the brutal and opportunistic overseer, in "Gone with the Wind" and as Lamont Cranston, aka 'The Shadow' in the 1942 serial film "The Shadow". He also portrayed Oberon in Max Reinhardt's film version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Victor Jory has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6605 Hollywood Blvd. He was cremated and his ashes were either given to a friend or family.
