Norman Chappell (31 December 1925, Lucknow, India – 21 July 1983)[1] was an English character actor, known for numerous roles in television and film.[2]
Born in India during the British Raj, Chappell appeared mainly in television series as a character actor, usually in light comedy roles.
He was best known for his roles in the Carry On films and in The Avengers (six appearances "Dead of Winter", "The Gilded Cage", "Dial A Deadly Number", "Dance with Death", "Fog" and "Murdersville"). He often portrayed slightly pompous types of which his role in "The Gilded Cage" was a good example.[3] He also appeared in a number of comedy sketches performed in the early 3-2-1 TV shows hosted by "Ted Rogers".[4]
