MINI BIO:
Long-faced, Scottish-born character star, bald from an early age, whose expressions of ghoulish glee, doleful dithering and agonized anguish, coupled with uniquely gurgling diction, were associated with much that was best in British comedies and comedy-thrillers from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s. The cinema let him go too early at 60. An incomparable Scrooge. Died from cancer.
