  • Actor

IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
He began acting in a small theatre called Unity Theatre, Mornington Crescent, London from the late 1950's - 1960's.

He died in Regents Park Road outside sheltered accommodation where he had been staying after suffering a heart attack a few years previously.

He had been invited to speak to a Star Wars fan club in Woverhampton on his role as Jabba the Hutt. It was an extremely hot day when he got off the train and made his way home. His body lay in the morgue at The Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, London, for four days until his friend Michael McKevitt, also an actor, began to wonder why he wasn't answering the phone or why he wasn't at his sheltered accommodation home.
