About
Herbert Standing (13 November 1846 – 5 December 1923) was a British stage and screen actor born in London, England. He is recognized as the patriarch of the Standing family of actors, a theatrical dynasty that extended across multiple generations and into both stage and screen careers.
Standing began his theatrical career in 1867 and went on to establish a presence on Broadway that spanned from 1900 to 1914. His Broadway credits included the musical To-Night's the Night, as well as productions such as Disraeli, The House Next Door, 70, Girls, 70, and the play Candida, among others. In 1913, he transitioned to film work, and toward the end of his life he appeared in numerous Hollywood silent pictures.
Standing fathered several children who pursued careers in theatre and cinema, among them Sir Guy Standing, Wyndham Standing, Percy Standing, Jack Standing, Herbert Standing Jr., and Aubrey Standing. The family's involvement in the performing arts continued into the next generation, with grandchildren Joan Standing, Kay Hammond, Guy Standing Jr., and Jack Standing Jr. all working in show business. The actor John Standing, a son of Kay Hammond, is Standing's great-grandson and continues to work as a character actor.
