John Tatham in Les champions (1968)
Prolific and ubiquitous British bit player John Tatham was born John Kenneth Tatham on July 29, 1911 in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England. A former dance instructor and longtime stand-in for Trevor Howard, Tatham first began popping up in films in often uncredited minor roles in the mid-1940's. With his trademark dour face and matching grumpy demeanor, John was frequently cast as policemen, military officers, or patrons at either pubs or nightclubs. Tatham appeared in a slew of movies and a bunch of television shows in a career that spanned four decades. John died at age 85 in December, 1996.
