Capel Tristan Rawson (20 January 1888 – 20 May 1974), known professionally as Tristan Rawson, was an English actor
After an early career as an opera singer in Germany, he took up amateur dramatics in Switzerland during the First World War and on returning to England he turned professional in 1919 and pursued a career lasting forty years. He became particularly associated with Shakespearean roles, and played in more than forty Shakespeare productions. He established a long connection with the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre where he appeared in many summer seasons between 1938 and 1960. He was mostly known as a stage actor, but broadcast on BBC radio and television, and appeared in four cinema films.
In addition to his acting, Rawson adapted German, French and Spanish plays for the British stage, working with his younger brother, the playwright Graham Rawson.
