Excellent, want to believe our beaky regular was somewhere in the credits.

By the way, Piers, other appearence of George Fisher:

Private Collins in Esprit De Corps

Identification: my friend and me (when watching the episode).

An interesting study I conducted recently.

Look at the episode Room Without a View.
We perceive the actor on pic below for a long time as Michael Chow. The actor plays a role as a laundryman.

However, when compared with the images of the real Michael Chow, seems he always was listed in the credits, I came to the conclusion that our actor are other person.

Real Michael Chow:

Espionage (episode from 1963)

The Saint (episode from 1965)

You Only Live Twice (1967)

Thanks Denis, very helpful as always.
Spotlight is great because the actors or their agents supply the photos so you KNOW they're right - it's a casting directory so they have to be accurately shown to be cast in the right roles.

Thanks, Piers, for info about Spotlight.

Wonder if this can help to identify the extra below - a porter from episode "Room without a View":

The actor who is known as Fred Machon. Sadly, I have not found any work wherever he was in the credits that to confirm.

That is, while the different websites referred to him as Fred Machon, can we be sure?

Yesterday I conducted a study (newspapers, books, etc) for the actor Philip Ross, who played extra (Hospital Attendant) in the episode "The Fear Merchants", and came to an interesting conclusion: our actor and australian performer Phillip Ross are same person.

Moreover, found a unmentioned fact on any movie bases, that he also played a policeman in a Hitchcok's film Frenzy (1972).

General information for actor Phillip Ross (billed as Philip Ross in "The Fear Merchants"):

Born: 1929 in Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Married on actress Felicity Gordon approx. in 1964. Together they played in several productions.

News on Today:

I conducted for some weeks the research for Michel Faure (Pavret in episode "Death's Door"), which as was known by TV and movie bases appeared in some television plays in Britain...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1270759/

and found finally confirmation that our actor and writer Michel Faure is same person.

I had some misgivings before (when spent the identification of writer Michel on photos of our time), but never found the info that he did any acting works.

Now we knows general information for writer/actor Michel Faure:

Born: December 31, 1934 in Paris, France

Married to Joan Fraser, a longtime Montreal Gazette reporter and editor who was appointed to the Senate in 1998. Daughters: Elisabeth and Isabelle.

Made his career in England, France and Canada mainly as TV writer.

Last book: Mr. Zuko Takes Flight (2015)
