Adolphe Le Prince (c. June 1872 – 20 August 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.
Death
In 1901, Le Prince was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in the Point O' Woods vicinity of Fire Island, New York, in the United States. He had been shooting duck in the area. The official verdict was suicide.
