That may be him. He was referred to as "the cad" That's old English-speak for a bit of a rogue but one from an upper class family. When Hollywood wanted a suave, disdainful but slightly untrustworthy Englshman with an eye for the ladies it was George.
When it wanted an upstanding, no nonsense, entirely trustworthy Englishman it was C Aubrey Smith.
If you ever get the chance try and see the original "Prisoner of Zenda" with Ronald Coleman and C Aubrey Smith as the goodies and Douglas Fairbanks Junior and I think, Raymond Massey as the baddies. Great film.
So while not in the above film he was part of Hollywood's 1930 and 40s English baddies. I think his voice was used in the cartoon Jungle Book. He was the the villainous tiger.
The recent UK Steradent adverts with an upper class tiger who refers to his teeth as "the old gnashers" is based on a cross between Lesley Phillips and George Saunders although the voice isn't George Saunders and maybe not even Lesley Phillips but it has drawn on those two.
George sadly has been dead for a number of years. If your reference cites a date of death then it is likely to be George.
