MINI BIO:
Thick-set, brown-haired, often mustachioed South African-born actor in British films, often as working types or hard-headed businessmen, but latterly best-known for his portrayals of Sir Winston Churchill. He began his career in his native country when, at 23, he won a nationwide contest for a radio announcer. He came to Britain in post-war years, and usually tackled roles - sometimes also as policemen or minor figures of authority - that were older than his years. The cinema's demands slackened after 1962, but he continued to be busy in television.
