Joss Ambler(1900-1959)
- Actor
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Joss Ambler was a character actor who
played usually small parts in British B - and occasionally A movies
('The Citadel', 'The Half Way House', 'The Captain's Paradise'...).
Serious-looking, mustached and bespectacled he more often than once
found himself in the shoes of no-nonsense characters such as police
inspectors, officers or chiefs, doctors, managers, judges, auctioneers
and teachers. His civil-servant looks did not stop him from marrying
American actress June Lang. After divorcing her he married Irene, who
had been a WAAF in World War Two. The couple lived happily in London
but had no children. Joss Ambler died too early, in 1959.
