He reminds me of someone who I think was in The Bill. No idea of his name though.

I can't remember the name of his character or his name, but I am sure he was in The Bill.

he was never in the bill.

in the 90's he was jayne tennysons' boss in 'prime suspect
in the 70's he was the boss of the chinese detective (played by david yip)

LOL, indee
David Yips Chinese Detective was early 80's and John Benfield wasn't in that

Ben Roberts who played chief inspector Derek Conway in The Bill?

excelsior-1

fair enough, ojread.
i do admit i've only seen about two years' worth of the bill -- obviously he's been in seasons i have not seen.

however -- prime suspect and the chinese detective are absolute certs.

ojread2

Maybe a later version then? But The Chinese Detective is early 80's and he is not in that one

Prime Suspect, yes, absolutely :)

It's definitely John Benfield.
