The chances are, you have seen Derek Deadman in a movie - but just
don't realize it! He is one of those actors to whom you instantly
recognize the face, but not the name.
He has starred in a whole array of films and television series since
the 1970s, playing normally minor roles, generally as the fall guy who
gets kicked around by some nasty villain, or as a comedic sidekicks to
people such as Benny Hill.
But it's minor roles that have seemed to keep this actor in business.
Work has always seemed to be available to him and, most recently, Derek
has starred in one of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen (2001), as Tom the
Landlord.
He has also appeared in the non-franchised James Bond film Sag Niemals Nie (1983);
Robin Hood - König der Diebe (1991); Heiraten für Fortgeschrittene (2001) and other major films.
If you happen to be watching a 1970s or 1980s British movie, look out
for Derek Deadman - chances are he's in it!!
