Tony Selby

Bio: Congenial character actor, Tony Selby was the epitome of the down-to earth, friendly Londoner of stage and screen. He starred in films such as Alfie, Adolf Hitler - My Part In His Downfall, Villain and even Superman, but it is the small screen that was his more natural home; he headlined Get Some In (1975) as the memorable bully Corporal Marsh, and had a main part in Love Hurts (1992-94) opposite Adam Faith and Zoe Wanamaker

Born: Sat, Feb 26 1938

Birthplace: Lambeth, South London, England, UK
