Name change to Karloff

Some time after emigrating to Canada in 1909, William Pratt changed his professional name to "Boris Karloff. " Some have theorized that he took the stage name from a mad scientist character in the novel The Drums of Jeopardy called "Boris Karlov. The Drums of Jeopardy is a 1920 American novel by Harold MacGrath. " However, the novel was not published until 1920, at least three years after Karloff had been using the name on stage and in silent films (Warner Oland played "Boris Karlov" in a movie version in 1931). Warner Oland ( October 3, 1879 &ndash August 6, 1938) was a Swedish actor most remembered for his role as " Charlie Another possible influence was thought to be a character in the Edgar Rice Burroughs fantasy novel H.

The Rider which features a "Prince Boris of Karlova," but as the novel was not published until 1915, the influence may be backward, that Burroughs saw Karloff in a play and adapted the name for the character. Pratt/Karloff always claimed he chose the first name "Boris" because it sounded foreign and exotic, and that "Karloff" was a "family name. " However, his daughter Sara Karloff publicly denied any knowledge of Slavic forebears, "Karloff" or otherwise. One reason for the name change was to prevent embarrassment to his family. Whether or not his brothers (all dignified members of the British foreign service) actually considered young William the "black sheep of the family" for having become an actor, Karloff himself apparently worried they did feel that way. He did not reunite with his family again until 1933, when he went back to England to make The Ghoul, extremely worried that his siblings would disapprove of his new, macabre claim to world fame. The Ghoul is a 1933 British Horror film starring Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thesiger and Ralph Instead, his elder brothers jostled for position around their "baby" brother and happily posed for publicity photographs with him.
