Julian Chagrin (born 22 February 1940), also credited as Julian Joy-Chagrin, is a British-Israeli comedy actor.^[1]^[2] He is the husband of actress and comedian Rolanda Chagrin.

Biography[edit]

Chagrin was born in London. His father was the composer and conductor Francis Chagrin, who was born to Jewish parents in Bucharest, Romania, while his mother was Irish.

He is perhaps best known as one of the tennis-playing mimes in the 1966 cult film Blowup,^[3] and as the 'secret lemonade drinker' in a popular advert for R. White's Lemonade in the 1970s.^[4] After appearing in films such as Danger Route (1967), The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom (1968) and Alfred the Great (1969), he played Bill the Lizard in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1972), which notably featured Peter Sellers as the March Hare and Spike Milligan as the Gryphon, and he acted with Sellers and Milligan again in The Great McGonagall in 1974. His short films The Concert and The Morning Spider were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

He also appeared as Maxi Grease, an odious TV host, in "Superstar", an episode of The Goodies,^[5]^[6] and as one half of a murderous comedy duo, together with Jimmy Jewel, in an episode of The Avengers.^[7] He also played the part of The Maestro in TV series The Orchestra which he also wrote and directed, alongside Sefi Rivlin in 1985 to 1987.
