Edgar Barrier (March 4, 1907 – June 20, 1964) was an American actor who appeared on radio, stage, and screen. In the 1930s he was a member of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre[1] and was one of several actors who played Simon Templar on The Saint radio show.[2] He also appeared in two films with Welles, Journey into Fear (1943) and Macbeth (1948). Barrier also appeared in the 1938 Welles-directed short, Too Much Johnson, which was long believed lost but was rediscovered in 2013.[3]
He was a guest star on a few episodes of Disney's Zorro as Don Cornelio Esperon.[citation needed]
Barrier was born in New York City and died in Hollywood, California from a heart attack.[2]
