Barry Foster(1927-2002)

Although Alfred Hitchcock said that he offered him the role of Robert Rusk in Frenesí (1972) after seeing him perform in a play, Foster later learned from Hitchcock's secretary that the director's decision was really based on having seen him in Psicosis del crimen (1968), a thriller with a distinctly Hitchcockian flavor.

The trouble is that people often mistake me for someone else. They think I'm [John Thaw from] El inspector Morse (1987), or else Jon Pertwee from Doctor Who (1963), or Keith Barron. In fact I attribute a good deal of my success to being confused with these people.
