I am watching an old classic sitcom from the 60s and noticed one of my favorite recurring characters, Bernard Fox, a Welshmen I believe. He is a fixture to many like me who were kids in the 60s and enjoyed comedy. Is he as known on your side of the pond or is he one of those actors more popular overseas than nearer home?

Jim,

Think he was in 'The Mummy' as the pilot from the Royal Flying Corp

His imdb page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0288882/

Yes, he certainly was. I guess he is more known here than at home.

Looks like a pale imitation of a James Robertson-Justice IMO.

Now there was a fine actor.

RIP James

Certainly a familar face. One of those actors that you know you have seen but can't quite place.
