Reginald Marsh
Biography
Reginald Marsh was an English actor best remembered for supporting roles, especially in television sitcoms from the 1970s. Born in London and raised on the Sussex coast at Worthing, he left school for a bank job before his father helped him find an agent, and at 16 he played his first role, a juvenile in Priestley's Eden End. He worked in repertory, and after a brief spell behind the scenes at Granada Television in 1958 he went back to acting. In the 1960s he appeared in films including Berserk! (1967), Young Winston (1972) and The Stone Tape (1972), and he played the bookie Dave Smith in Coronation Street, a part he played on and off between 1962 and 1976. He often played bosses, among them Jerry Leadbetter's in The Good Life from 1975, Humphrey Pumphrey in George and Mildred, and Sir Dennis Hodge in Terry and June. He wrote the play The Death is Announced, produced in Leeds in 1964.
