Character actor, Alfie Bass, was born Abraham Basalinksy on Apr 8, 1916 in Bethnal Green, England. Bass died at the age of 71 on Jul 15, 1987 in London, England .
MINI BIO:
Londoner often seen in cockney and/or Jewish "cloth cap" roles, he lurked under a clock of anonymity until his co-starring part as one of The Lavender Hill Mob brought his name to the public's attention. Later he tackled weightier roles, although almost always in the same vein as that in which he had started. Less often seen in films after 1958, following the creation of the malingering soldier "Bootsie" who appeared in two long-running TV series, The Army Game and Bootsie and Snudge. Died from a heart attack.
