fr Wikipedia:

>McLaglen was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. His father, a bishop, moved the family to South Africa when McLaglen was a child. He had four brothers who also became actors, Arthur (1888-1972), an actor and sculptor, and Clifford (1892-1978), Cyril (1899-1987), and Kenneth (c. 1901-1979).[1] Other siblings included Frederick (b. ca 1882), Sydney (b. ca 1884), Lewis (b. ca 1889), and a sister, Lily (b. ca 1893). Another brother, Leopold McLaglen, who appeared in one film, gained notoriety prior to World War I as a showman and self-proclaimed World Ju-jutsu Champion,[2] who authored a book on the subject.[3]<
