Sir Henry Irving (6 February 1838 – 13 October 1905), né John Henry Brodribb, was an English actor-manager in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He established himself at the West End theatre the Lyceum. His long campaign to have theatre recognised as an art of equal importance with music and painting culminated when he was knighted in 1895, the first actor to be thus honoured. Irving was born in the West Country of England and grew up in straitened circumstances. Read more on Wikipedia
