Dominic Jephcott



Dominic Jephcott, actor


Dominic Jephcott:

Elegant and refined-looking actor who got his first biggish break in the 1979 TV film version of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' as one of the comrades of Richard Thomas (of John-Boy Walton fame) in the Imperial German Army. He also makes an appearance in the British low-budget 'Alien' cash-in, 'Inseminoid' (1981) although he comes a cropper about five minutes in.

'Inseminoid' (1981)
For the greater part of his acting career, he has been a TV stalwart, seen in everything from soaps and potboilers like 'Emmerdale', 'Holby City', 'Casualty' and 'Doctors', to cosy crime classics 'Midsomer Murders', 'Ruth Rendell Mysteries' and 'Agatha Christie: Poirot'. My particular favourite is Hobson, his enthusiastic graduate policeman in the 'Beiderbecke' series. With his bewildered theories on individualists and 'unusual, possibly illegal' behaviour, he provides the perfect antagonist to Alan Plater's easy going liberal heroes played by James Bolam and Barbara Flynn.

Albert Moses


Albert Moses: 

† Dec 19 1937 - Sep 15 2017

The Sri Lankan-born actor came to the UK trading on a slight likeness to Clark Gable, but is perhaps best known for appearing as Ranjeet Singh in the blithely racist 'Mind Your Language', a show he also produced, and a plethora of film roles as doctors, secret agents, merchants, assassins, and petty Raj officials, as well as stereotypical bus conductors and waiters in many unreconstructed '70s British movies and TV shows.  He can be seen in two James Bond movies, 'The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), and 'Octopussy' (1983), as well as 'The Man Who Would Be King' (1975), 'Carry On Emanuelle' (1978) and 'An American Werewolf in London' (1981).

He's also a poet, a chairman of Equity, and pillar of the community in St Albans.
