1937-1940: Produced for Fred Meliville at the Brixton Repertory
Theatre.
Won the inaugural (UK) Clarence Derwent Award for his role as "Rupert
Billings" in "The Happiest Days Of Your Life". From then on, he gave up
producing and became a full-time actor.
At first it was producing for the stage that claimed his attention.
After six years service in the British Army, he returned to the theatre
as a producer-actor, where he found roles in repertory and small parts
on tour and in London.
Educated at Marlborough College and Christ Church Oxford.
