Wilfred Shine (12 July 1864 – 14 March 1939 in Kingston-Upon-Thames, England)[1] was a British actor, mainly on the stage, and a specialist in melodrama.[2][3] He was the father of the actor Bill Shine.[4]
Shine performed as Barney in John Bull's Other Island at 10 Downing Street for King George V and Queen Mary in 1911.[5]
Upon his death in 1939, The Times described him as "entirely devoid of preciousness or histrionic mannerisms, his acting depended chiefly on the ripeness and humanity he infused into it".[5]
