Adolphe Le Prince

Adolphe Le Prince (November 1872 – August 20, 1901) was an English actor. He appeared in Roundhay Garden Scene, the earliest surviving film. In 1898, Le Prince appeared as a witness for the defence in a lawsuit brought by Thomas Edison against the American Mutoscope Company. Le Prince testified about the inventions of his late father, Louis Le Prince, rebutting Edison's claim to be the inventor of cinematography, and therefore entitled to royalties for the use of the process.
