David Daker:
Stolid bloodhound type with a classic
comb-over, he has played convicts, dads, lorry-drivers, coppers (eg Constable
Culshaw in 'Z-Cars'), teachers, heavies, and various nervous, shifty
types. Films include a role as the disinterested dad in Terry Gilliam's 'Time Bandits' (1981), and 'Stardust' (1974), 'The Black Windmill' (1974) and 'Britannia Hospital' (1982).
On TV he has been seen in 'Dick Turpin', 'Minder', 'Boon', 'UFO', 'Juliet Bravo', and the last resort of the British character actor, 'Holby City'. An old dependable.
And let's not forget his appearance as medieval warrior Irongron, the first human to encounter a Sontaran in Dr Who.
He appeared with Peter Sellers in a little film called "The Optimists Of Nine Elms".
ReplyDeleteHe played Elzevir Block in the 1984 series 'Moonfleet' and he was beyond amazing.
