Terry Scully (13 May 1932 – 17 April 2001) was a British theatre and television actor.[1][2]
Leaving school at 14, Scully became an odd-job boy in a local engineering works. Having vague ideas of becoming a concert pianist, he studied playing the piano in his spare time but after passing his ARCM exam at 16, he gave up piano lessons.[3] For four years, he worked as a bus conductor[4] on the Manchester to Liverpool route.[5]
Scully was invited to an audition with the Leigh Company Players after a member was impressed with his reading of a speech from Macbeth. He ended up playing leads with the company before going for an audition at Bristol Old Vic Drama School. So impressed with him, they persuaded Lancashire County Council to give Scully a grant to enable him to study. This was followed by performing with companies in Nottingham and Birmingham.[6]
