He began his acting career in local am-dram, performing with the Rainhill Garrick Society and the Rainhill Amateur Operatic Society. On TV, he was best-known for a long stint as Cedric – perpetually drunk and always propping up the bar – in the Liverpool-set sitcom Watching (1987-1993). He also starred in Our Day Out (1977), The Spongers (1978), The Muscle Market (1981), Boys from the Blackstuff (1982), No Surrender (1987) and Riff-Raff (1991).
Alongside his TV and theatre work, he was head of the Liverpool division of actors’ union Equity for several years. He was also a familiar face behind the counter at HLS Motor Factors on Warrington Road, Prescot, and KLS on Hall Lane.
In his later years he toured retirement homes with an acting company.
