Mark Dignam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Dignam (20 March 1909 - 29 September 1989) was a prolific English actor.
Born in London, the son of salesman in the steel industry, Dignam grew up in Sheffield and was educated at the Jesuit College where he appeared in many Shakespearean plays.
He learned his craft touring England and America with Ben Greet's Shakespeare company. His range extended from the Louis Macneice radio play The Dark Tower in the 1940s to TV thriller The XYY Man in the late 1970s. Dignam was married three times, divorced twice (his character in The XYY Man frequently complains about the expense of maintaining multiple ex-wives).
His brother Basil Dignam was also a well known character actor and his sister-in-law was noted British actress Mona Washbourne.
