He is in credits for "Stars of the Roller State Disco". This is he. :)
Yes indeed! I first identified him through an episode of Morecambe & Wise and have credited him for a few years now. He's also in "The Hour that Never was" and "Honey for the Prince"

I suspect for many years he is Kurt Schiegl (ex-boxer).
That is truly fantastic! I've always wondered why he didn't get a credit.
I wonder if he and George Chuvalo got together during filming? They were both boxers and both were extras in TNA.

Many thanks, Denis!

My favorite role with Charles in The Avengers is sad Napoleon. He so fun and played great military commander with the soul. Fine! :)

Ear, nose, faint mustache, chin, almost identical hairstyle (that seen on screen) and even the hat on his head at the same angle.

Also, Paul as a journalist in episode Death's Door. :wink:

Yes, Piers, as for John Cam I was based on results from Moviedude, and Gerard Lovell here:
http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/extra ... u-196.html

Frankly, I had no doubt in these sources (unlike IMDB and aveleyman) and did not continue the search.

Now I researched topic:
http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/briti ... rch-2.html

Seems actually John Cam is other person.
Thanks for info, Piers. :wink: I hope we find out who is really our extra in Two's a crowd.
Definitely spot on with Paul... funny, I was sure I had him and a few others identified for Death's Door but it would seem not... Fixed now, thanks again!
Yes, that was the britmovie thread that I doubted about John Cam, the eyes are similar but the rest not, to my mind.

Yes, it's strange that Kurt went out a credit - maybe for the first time.
Possibily they mistakenly considered his not in that category (just the theory: if as stuntman, is sense - many stunts were uncredited).

Umm, I never thought about it earlier - Kurt and George Chuvalo could be together during filming! :? Based on the production schedule it seems incredible, but since we do not have detailed reports - it is possible in principle that they intersected. :?

And this is so, Piers. :wink:

What are your view on William F. Sully in episode "The Bird who Knew too Much"? I'm pretty sure this is he. :wink:

By the way, I identified Raf del la Torre by obtaining a 1972 L-Z Actors Spotlight and once I saw his photo, looked him up to verify.

I've now just watched "The Dalek Master Plan" and can confirm that the man identified as John Cam is NOT our beaky regular.

Interestingly, Piers. Were there other Avengers performers that you identyfied using Spotlight or it was mainly Britmovie and resources like moviedude? :wink: Well, I personally enjoyed the Spotlight - seems you can always trust for info (though of course no one is immune from mistakes).
