- Belfast-born, he lived in England from aged 7. During his acting career, he specialised in playing irrepressible cockney characters and Irishmen. He in fact spoke RP (received pronunciation) as he'd been to Dunstable School. He had a great ear for accents and in many of his early films was a northerner, a west country man, Scots, and even eastern European. This facility with different characters worked superbly in the Televison sketch comedy he did in he 1950s.
