Alfred Paget (2 June 1879 – 8 October 1919) was an English silent film actor best known for his portrayal of Prince Belshazzar in D.W. Griffith's 1916 historical epic Intolerance. He appeared in more than 230 films between 1908 and 1918. Prior to his film career, he had served from 1899 to 1903 in the Royal Horse Guards of the British Army.
He served in South Africa during the Second Boer War from July to November 1900, receiving the Queen's South Africa Medal with clasps for Cape Colony, Orange Free State, and Transvaal. In April 1918 he travelled to Canada and enrolled in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, being assigned to the 34th Fort Garry Horse Depot Squadron in Winnipeg as an instructor, being quickly promoted to the rank of Sergeant due to his previous service and experience.
Paget was married to Leila Halstead.[1] In the summer of 1919, he contracted a form of malarial fever, and died in Winnipeg on 8 October 1919. He is buried in the Field Of Honour in Brookside Cemetery, Winnipeg.[1]
