Portly British Character-Actor

Portly, wavy-haired and narrow-eyed British character actor, usually found playing assorted thugs and plug-uglies in British films and TV dramas of the 1950's and 60's. Also popped up in a number of taverns and pubs in Hammer horror productions during the same period.

Had an apparently well-earned reputation for rudeness.
