Bernard Bresslaw

25 Feb, 1934 in Stepney, London, England, UK

A RADA scholar who was spotted by Laurence Olivier, Bernard Bresslaw got professional security from the "Carry On" films but was typecast (as TV's The Army Game (1957) had done earlier). He was beginning to extend himself through stage work when, in 1993, just before a performance in "The Taming... Of The Shrew" in Regent's Park, London, he had a heart attack and died at the age of 59.
