Quiz

Barry Morse

Modifica
  • Born of humble surroundings, he claims he left school at age 14 to escape beatings by his teachers who tried to force the left handed student to write with his right hand.
  • His friend and co-author of his autobiography, Robert E. Wood, said: "Little old ladies would come up to him in airports and whack at him with their purses, shouting, 'Why didn't you leave that man alone?".
  • The final broadcast of Il fuggiasco (1963) made TV history. It was seen by more than 72% of viewers, a record that stood untouched until "Dallas" and the J.R. shooting some 13 years later.
  • Read Victor Hugo's Les Miserables when he was told that it had inspired The Fugitive. This helped him model his portrayal of Lt. Gerard after his inspiration, Inspector Javert.
  • Following his debut in the classic television series Il fuggiasco (1963) as Lt. Gerard - the relentless pursuer of the falsely accused Dr. Richard Kimble - he was given the moniker "The most hated man in America."
  • Attempted to enlist in the Royal Navy during World War II, but a physical examination revealed he had tuberculosis which was caught in the early stages and cured.
  • His character, Lt. Philip Gerard, actually appeared in only 37 of the episodes of Il fuggiasco (1963).
  • Sometimes referred to as the "CBC Test Pattern" due to his frequency on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation programming.
  • He made guest appearances on both Ai confini della realtà (1959) and Ai confini della realtà (1985).
  • Maintained homes in both England and Canada. He died in London.
  • Was working as a messenger when he happened upon a public performance by students at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He later attended the school from 1935 to 1937 on a full scholarship.
  • Performed his one-man play "Merely Players" in order to help establish a show-business retirement home in Toronto.
  • Release of his autobiography, "Remember with Advantages: Chasing 'The Fugitive' and Other Stories From an Actor's Life" by Barry with Robert E. Wood and Anthony Wynn. (2006)
  • Was offered but declined a cameo appearance in the role of "Samuel Gerard"'s father in the motion picture version of Il fuggiasco (1963).
  • Father of Hayward B. Morse, Melanie Morse MacQuarrie, and Barry Richard Charles Morse.
  • His meeting with George Bernard Shaw at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts exerted a long-lasting influence on Morse's life and culminated in his being appointed artistic director of the Shaw Festival of Canada in 1966. He also portrayed Shaw in later years in one- and two-person stage shows. Wife Sydney Sturgess was also renowned for her work in Shavian plays.
  • Born in Bethnal Green, London.
  • Tommy Lee Jones assumed Morse's Lt. Gerard role when the TV series was adapted into a full-length feature film starring Harrison Ford. Jones won an Oscar for "supporting actor".
  • Father-in-law of Don MacQuarrie.
  • He was born in London but has Canadian nationality and lives in America.
