Biography

George Woodbridge was an English actor who worked in film, television and theater from the 1930s into the 1970s. Born in Exeter and raised in Devon, he had earlier worked in the Merchant Navy as a chief steward before taking up acting. He first appeared on the London stage in 1928, and his film debut came in 1940. His ruddy complexion and West Country accent led to roles as publicans, policemen and yokels, especially in horror and comedy. He played an innkeeper in both Dracula (1958) and Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966), and also appeared in The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958), The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) and The Reptile (1966). Comedies included Two-Way Stretch (1960), What a Carve Up! (1961), Carry on Jack (1964) and Nurse on Wheels (1963). On television he became popular late in his career as the puppet-maker in Inigo Pipkin, later known as Pipkins.
