Timothy Bateson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timothy Bateson (born April 3, 1926 in London - † September 16, 2009 ) was an English actor who appeared in nearly 175 film and television roles.

Bateson began his film career as Lord Frederick Verisopht in the film adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby by Ealing Studios in 1947. He was in several other successful British films of the time on the cast list; he worked with Roy Boulting , Pat Jackson - of whose "regular cast" he belonged - and Laurence Olivier .

When the roles became rarer in the late 1950s, he switched to comedies such as The Mouse That Roared ; When there was less and less to do here and he became the keyword for James Robertson Justice and Leslie Phillips in their films, he discovered the hammer films and a short time later television as a field of activity. He played roles in nearly every series of the 1960s; in the following decade, too, it was mainly seen on the screen, more rarely on the screen.

Bateson was part of the cast of the series Grange Hill and Don't wait up in the 1980s ; From 1991 to 1993 he was Padre Benites in the Spanish series The new Zorro . He also worked as a voice actor. He appeared again and again as a stage actor, for example in the first British production of Waiting for Godot , for which he received the Clarence Derwent Award in 1956 . He also appeared in three episodes in a supporting role in the British film series Inspector Barnaby .
