Biography

Ian Wilson was an English actor who played small parts in more than 145 films, most of them uncredited. Born in London in 1901, he began in the silent era with A Master of Craft in 1922 and went on working for five decades, usually cast as meek public servants, professional men or busybodies. His credits included Hell Drivers (1957), The Ugly Duckling (1959), Two-Way Stretch (1960), The Day of the Triffids (1963), Carry on Jack (1964), Rotten to the Core (1965) and The Plank (1967). He appeared in a number of films by the Boulting brothers, who regarded him as a good luck charm. His last film was The Wicker Man (1973), and he died in 1987.
