‏Geoffrey Chater‏

An English actor born in 1921. He starred in both film and television projects. His television credits include appearances in The Champions, Dad's Army, Callan, Mapp and Lucia, Heartbeat, Foyle's War, One Foot in the Grave (1990), The Thin Blue Line (1995) and Midsomer Murders (1997).

The very image of the establishment, he played ministers, lawyers, bankers and doctors from the early 1950s until 2005.

His film credits included impressive entries such as 'Gandhi', 'If', 'Barry Lyndon', and 'O Lucky Man', as well as unlikely oddments like Reg Varney's drag-act monstrosity 'The Best Pair of Legs in The Business'.
