 Woo! Definitely never heard of him though, so thank you Hamish
You're the winner.

I had never heard of him, I have to say.

 I haven't heard of him either, and it was kind of sneaky damo how you quietly changed the "dart" rule ;-)
Jamie previously changed it to brick. That method is very dependent on where you are. And 50% way too high anyway (for 20 questions anyway).

Yep.

As I said most will have heard him - as Shere Khan in Jungle Book.

 I’ll go with Hugh Griffith then as a random stolen free guess.

Assuming one of those things is that he actually won, we can narrow down the list to:

Donald Crisp
George Sanders
Hugh Griffith

I have never heard of any of them.

 John Houseman?
No
JH has 2 things in common with the target which none of the other guesses have.

 I've had my free guess but someone else might like to have a go at Sir John Anthony Quayle. He meets all the criteria but I don't think he'd pass the 50% dart test tbh.
I don't recall seeing a reference to darts in the latest interpretation of the rules. A Wikipedia article is now the suggested benchmark... which is pretty much half the population of the planet these days. Even I have a mention on it in some dusty corner.

Is it Sir John Anthony Quayle not the Bruce?
Nope

Regarding the "well known" ness I doubt there are many on here who have not heard him.

With the info to hand it is easy to come up with a finite list (about half an hour's work at a guess).

I believe there is still one question remaining.

Also meeting the criteria but not super well-known are Daniel Massey, and possibly Cecil Kellaway.
