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.
