Stephen Murray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephen Murray (born in Partney, Lincolnshire, England, 1912, died 1983) was an English cinema, radio, theatre and television actor.
He found his greatest fame as the new Number 1, later promoted to Commander in The Navy Lark on BBC Radio. His film debut was as the second police officer who interrupts an amorous Eliza and Freddy (Wendy Hiller and David Tree) in Pygmalion (1938). Among his larger film roles were Uncle Henry in London Belongs to Me (1948, heavily made-up to look several decades older) and the lead in Terence Fisher's Four Sided Triangle (1953). He once again appeared under heavy make-up as the elderly Dr. Manette in A Tale of Two Cities (1958).
On television he played Sir Francis Walsingham in the BBC's 1970 production Elizabeth R, opposite Glenda Jackson's Elizabeth.
