Ronald Lewis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald Lewis (December 11, 1928 - January 11, 1982), was a Welsh actor, best known for his appearances in British films of the 1950s and 1960s.

Lewis was born in Port Talbot and made his first screen appearance in 1953. From then on, he averaged one or two films a year until the mid-60s, including classics like The Wind Cannot Read (1958) and Billy Budd (1962). As the British film industry declined and he grew older, he made the transition to television but with limited success.

He committed suicide by taking a drug overdose.
