Biography

Wallas Eaton was an English actor whose work ranged across film, radio, television and the stage, though radio listeners knew him best for the characters he voiced in the BBC comedy serial Take It from Here between 1949 and 1960. Born in Leicester in 1917, he made his first stage appearance at the city's Theatre Royal in 1936, and three years later reached London as the Announcer in Auden and Isherwood's The Ascent of F6 at the Old Vic. Parts in Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral and Shaw's Too True To Be Good followed, and in 1945 he appeared opposite Vivien Leigh in Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. His film credits included Caesar and Cleopatra (1945). He made his BBC Television debut in Arthur Askey's Before Your Very Eyes in 1952 and later turned up in Up Pompeii and The Complete and Utter History of Britain. He died in 1995.
