In 1910 he was elected to the London County Council as a Progressive Party councillor representing Tower Hamlets, Mile End. He served a single three-year term and did not contest the 1913 county council election. In that year he made his first trip to the United States. By 1923 his address was given as Hampstead, but he was in the process of becoming a naturalised citizen of the USA where his son was living. In 1938, at the age of 80, he made his final sea voyage from Plymouth to New York, giving his occupation as "actor". He had settled in Los Angeles, dying there aged 83.
