Malcolm McGregor (October 13, 1892 â€" April 29, 1945) was an American
actor of the silent era. McGregor appeared in 55 films between 1922
and 1936. He was born in Newark, New Jersey and died in Hollywood,
California.A cross between Wallace Reid, Rudolph Valentino, and the
earlier Harrison Ford, McGregor, with slicked-back hair, starred as
the young whaling captain in a film version of Ben Ames Williams' All
the Brothers Were Valiant (1923), perhaps the highlight of a busy
career that mostly found the handsome, clean-cut actor supporting such
glamorous female stars as Corinne Griffith, Florence Vidor, and Evelyn
Brent. Like so many of his contemporaries, McGregor's career quickly
waned after the changeover to sound and he was reduced to playing
second fiddle to Bela Lugosi in the Mascot serial The Whispering
Shadow (1932). McGregor retired after playing a gangster in a
low-budget screen version of radio's Special Agent K-7 (1937).
McGregor reportedly died from burns suffered in an accident in his
Hollywood home.
