msc 18,543 Posted December 9, 2017 Recognise the face. He was in 2 episodes of Taggart but I can't mind the roles off the top of my head. He's apparently a Pat Cooper in Hostile Witness, the Taggart with the by-election, Bobby Carlyle and more murders than an Eric Saward penned episode of Doctor Who. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runebomme 377 Posted December 9, 2017 most of the carry on actors seem to have died in their 60s heavy smokers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,543 Posted December 9, 2017 Yes, several of them were. Joan Sims - COPD complications Charles Hawtrey - vascular issues from smoking Sid James - heart attack, cut heavy smoking in 67 after first heart attack Kenneth Connor - cancer Peter Butterworth - sudden heart attack. Think he smoked. Hattie Jacques - Heavy smoker. heart attack Terry Scott - cancer. "I know it would be better to give up the booze, fags and birds, but life would be so boring, wouldn't it?" Bernard Bresslaw - smoker, heart attack But then you also had from the regulars: Roy Castle - famously got lung cancer despite being a lifetime non-smoker Kenneth Williams - suicide Jim Dale - still alive Barbara Windsor - still alive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
