MINI BIO:
Bespectacled, heron-like British supporting actor whose neat light-brown hair concealed an unexpected bald patch at the back and whose thin, elongated lips could open wide and screw themselves into expressions of Donald Duck-like outrage, while the plaintively light, upper-class Wattis tones complained of some new affront. He was the happy butt of many British comedians, often as salesmen, butlers, solicitors, and teachers. Died from a heart attack.
