(Sunday June 16, 1957) He acted in Robin Maugham's play, "The Last Hero," at the Strand Theatre in London, England with Margaret Bull, Cicely Paget-Bowman, Nigel Stock, Christopher Taylor, Anthony Woodruff, Robert Jackson, Anthony Marlowe, Alan Judd, Mark Shurland, John Arnatt, Michael Brill, Thomas Baptiste, and Hamlyn Benson in the cast. Ellen Pollock was director.
Jovial British actor whose greatest fame, in the early-to-mid-1950s, was as straight man to "Mr. Turnip", a puppet featured on a BBC children's program, "Whirligig". In later life, he found acting work hard to get and was at one point declared bankrupt.
