Reg Lye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reg Lye (1912-23 March 1988) was an Australian actor who worked extensively in Australia and England. He was one of the busiest Australian actors of the 1950s, appearing in the majority of locally-shot features at the time, as well as on stage and radio. Lee Robinson called him "one of the best character actors in Australia."[1] He moved to England in the early 1960s but returned to Australia when the film industry revived in the 1970s.
