If it's Peter Lorre you're after, he of Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon etc., then he wasn't English. But he was a great character actor all the same.

I like this, taken from the link posted by Zen:

"During the House Un-American Activities Committee's "investigation" of supposed Communist infiltration of Hollywood during the 1940s and 1950s, Lorre was interviewed by investigators and asked to name anyone suspicious he had met since coming to the US. He responded by giving them a list of everyone he knew."
