Fred Sullivan (1837–1877) was an English actor and singer. Born into a musical family, he trained as an architectural draftsman but abandoned the profession for a stage career. In 1871, he first performed the role of Mr. Cox in a revival of his brother Arthur Sullivan's comic opera Cox and Box, and later that year created the role of Apollo in the first Gilbert and Sullivan opera, Thespis. In 1875, he created his most famous role, the Learned Judge in Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury, also playing in the accompanying Offenbach piece, La Périchole. He earned enthusiastic reviews, and his portrayal of the Judge set the pattern for the subsequent Gilbert and Sullivan comic "patter" roles. He then toured in Trial and French operettas, returning for the London revival of Trial. Fred Sullivan died at the age of 39, leaving a pregnant widow and seven young children, his brother composing the song "The Lost Chord" at his bedside. This sepia photograph of Sullivan was taken by the Canadian photographer Olivier Sarony, probably in the 1870s.
