MINI BIO:

Raucous-voiced, abrasive, distinctive British character star. In spite of alcohol problems that made him difficult to employ, he became a star of the British cinema from 1938 to 1947 (before spending a long sojourn on stage) with fruitful excursions to Hollywood. Even in his last years, he was still capable of stealing scenes from the leading players. Died from a heart attack.
