Boris Karloff was 44 and had been acting for 20 years when he was cast in FRANKENSTEIN (1931).
Proof that it's never too late to be an overnight success.
The opening night cast of “Arsenic and Old Lace” starred the actual Boris Karloff as Jonathan Brewster. Later productions had fellow major horror stars Erich von Stroheim, Bela Lugosi and Fred Gwynne in the role

I saw the 4K restoration of THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) tonight at the Quad Cinema in NYC.
Boris Karloff’s second film w/ James Whale (between FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN) is delightfully idiosyncratic and atmospheric — and features a stellar cast.
So nice to see it looking better than ever!
Other famous cast members with small roles include: Boris Karloff and Gary Cooper has an ultra teensy uncredited role as well (this was one of many uncredited roles at the start of his career)
