Ernest Trimmingham (1880–1942), often misspelled as Trimingham, was an actor on stage and screen from the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda.[1] He was one of the first black actors in British cinema. Trimingham is a common, but exclusively white, surname in Bermuda connected with an affluent merchant family,[2] and it is likely that Ernest adopted it when he became an actor. He was born in Bermuda in 1880, and died in England on 2 February 1942.[3][4]
