Paul Carpenter

Biography

Paul Carpenter was a Canadian actor and singer who left medical school in Montreal at 17 to become a war correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, having also played professional hockey in Canada. After moving to Britain he sang in the 1940s with Ted Heath and His Music, and starred in Riders of the Range, a BBC Radio serial, as the cowboy Jeff Arnold from 1949 to 1953. In the post-war decades he made more than three dozen British films, most of them B pictures, among them Diplomatic Passport (1954) and One Jump Ahead (1955), and because of his voice he was often cast as announcers. He starred with Lorne Greene in Sailor of Fortune from 1955 to 1956, his only television program, and his last screen appearance, uncredited, was as an American General in Goldfinger (1964), the James Bond film. He died in 1964.
