James Nutcombe Gould (known as Nutcombe Gould) (24 February 1849 in
Stoke-in-Teignhead, Devon â€" 10 October 1899 in Paddington) was an
English stage actor.He was the son of John Nutcombe Gould (1805-1878),
a wealthy rector, and Katherine Emma née Grant (1821-1903), a
daughter of Major-General James Grant (1780-1852). James had wanted to
follow his father into the church. However, he had a stammer, which he
thought held him back in his career. He worked as a bank clerk until
he inherited sufficient wealth to marry well and to change career onto
the stage, mostly in London. He took the stage name Nutcombe Gould and
never stammered on stage.Notably, Gould originated the role of Lord
Darlington in Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde when it premiered
in 1892. James Nutcombe Gould Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
