Jules Raucourt on AllMovie

A dashing screen presence from Belgium, Jules Raucourt was in many ways a forerunner of Rudolph Valentino, starring as Pierrot opposite Marguerite Clark in Prunella (1918) and, that same year, as Mario opposite Pauline Frederick in La Tosca. There were several other important roles, both in Hollywood and in Europe, but Raucourt is perhaps best remembered for playing John Jones, the title character in the highly praised avant-garde presentation Life and Death of 9413: A Hollywood Extra. Ironically, Raucourt became a Hollywood extra himself after the changeover to sound.
