Harold Goodwin

Born: 1917-10-22

Harold Goodwin was an English character actor, trained at RADA. He started in repertory in Liverpool. By 1949, he appeared on the West End stage. Goodwin never lost his Barnsley accent, and tended to specialize in playing working-class men, such as cabbies, stewards, or non-commissioned officers.
