Bernard Bresslaw

A RADA scholar who was spotted by Laurence Olivier, Bernard Bresslaw got professional security from the "Carry On" films but was typecast (as TV's The Army Game (1957) had done earlier). He was beginning to extend himself through stage work when, in 1993, just before a performance in "The Taming Of The Shrew" in Regent's Park, London, he had a heart attack and died at the age of 59. In total, there are 77 recognized credits in film and television. On Cinestia you can browse Bernard Bresslaw's complete filmography — 52 films and 25 series — and find where to watch each title.
