Tall in the saddle, and dark and handsome to boot, he may be little remembered today when compared to a 'William S. Hart' . Come the advent of sound, Stewart lost his footing and was relegated to support roles as a character actor. He continued working until his sudden death in 1933 of a heart attack in his Los Angeles home at the age of 49.
In 1954 he opened one of the first gyms in the U.K. that allowed all races to train there. In the 60s he also opened the Globe, a Caribbean restaurant and nightclub in Bayswater, remaining in charge of it until his death.
Survived by two daughters, two brothers and two grandchildren.
One of seven brothers, he arrived in England from Jamaica in the late 1940s. He had ambitions of becoming a doctor, but changed his plans after appearing in several small roles on stage. His first work on screen was as a stuntman.
Has acted in both the Eon James Bond franchise and the Doctor Who franchise.
