Sam Kydd - this was a spin off from the series Crane starring Patrick Allen.

The ones whose name you don't know but then after seeing them over and over again or in retrospect you realise how good they are - what they used to call character actors. Sometimes they become famous names, others just get a following from film buffs.

Glyn Edwards [Link]

Harry Andrews [Link]

Hal Holbrook [Link]

Some examples there, here's my vote for number one unsung hero actor - who was the best actor in The Shawshank Redemption? For me without question the govenor, what a magnificent portrayal of a total c*nt, you're not watching an actor but a proper c*nt. We'll dig out his name in due course, in the meantime it would be nice to find out who your candidates are.

Fat ass....he really wasn't supposed to be there

That's no way to talk to Pussay!

Returning to the OP...I missed it on the first reading, but I have to agree with Harry Andrews as an archetypal choice. I was wondering about adding Nigel Green, except in my eyes he's incredibly "well sung" for his role in 'Zulu'.

[Link] I was asking my Mum about Skip yesterday. She has an incredible memory for an 80 year old. I remember him when I was a kid growing up in Sydenham and he was the first real life person I'd seen on the telly although he generally only played small parts. A real nice bloke who always had a smile on his face. Passed away in 1984. Ollie's Dad,Ash.

Skip used to work in the minicab office at Bell Green when he wasn't acting. He actually introduced me to my first wife(but I never held that against him).

 


Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

Am I allowed to invoke the modern definition of actor (until it comes to awards) by suggesting what used to be called an actress? Esma Cannon.
