Bernard Bresslaw

Comedian / Actor | * 02/25/1934 († 59, 06/11/1993) | Stepney (United Kingdom (UK))
Bernard Bresslaw (25 February 1934 – 11 June 1993) was a British actor and comedian. He was best known as a member of the Carry On film franchise. Bresslaw also worked on television and stage, did recordings and wrote a series of poetry. ()

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.
