Which Actor

[missesbell]

I am trying to remember the name of a shortish actor with curly hair. I think he was a londoner and generally played dodgy roles. ? The Sweeney Looked a bit like Charlie Drake??!!

Are you thinking of Barry Foster? He was Van der Valk but plated several dodgy characters.

John Thaw was in the Sweeney.

Try Ronald Lacey. He was in things like Porridge as well. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/cornershop15/RonaldLacey1.jpg
