Biografia
William Claude Rains (Clapham, Londres, 10 de novembre de 1889 - Laconia, Nou Hampshire, 30 de maig de 1967) va ser un actor anglès. Se'l pot considerar com el clar exemple dels anomenats "actors secundaris", dels que sovint es recorda el rostre però no el nom, i que són part imprescindible de qualsevol pel·lícula, sovint eclipsant els actors protagonistes. Com va succeir amb altres actors de caràcter (el cas paradigmàtic seria Thelma Ritter), va ser proposat quatre vegades a l'Oscar però mai no el va guanyar.
