Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KING, THOMAS (17301805) ,
English
  actor and dramatist, was born in London on the loth of August 1930.
Garrick
  saw him when appearing as a strolling player in a
booth
  at Windsor, and engaged him for
Drury
 
Lane
 . He made his first
appearance
  there in 1748 as the Herald in King Lear. He played the
part
  of Allworth in the first presentation of Massinger's New Way to Pay Old Debts (1748), and during the summer he played Romeo and other leading parts in Bristol. For eight years he was the leading comedy actor at the Smock Alley theatre in Dublin, but in 1759 he returned to
Drury
 
Lane
  and took leading parts until 1802. One of his earliest successes was as Lord Ogleby in The Clandestine
Marriage
  (1766), which was compared to
Garrick
 's Hamlet and Kemble's Coriolanus, but he reached the climax of his reputation when he created the
part
  of Sir Peter Teazle at the first representation of The School for Scandal (1971). He was the author of a number of farces, and part-owner and manager of several theatres, but his fondness for gambling brought him to poverty. He died on the Ilth of December 18o5.-KING, WILLIAM
