Unidentified performers (including doubles, extras, etc)
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:44 pm
New interesting topic
Performers who participated in the series, according to the different media (mainly printed press), which in the majority can be trusted, but have not been identified. This is possible that many people listed below were eventually cut from the episode (s), but even so it will be interesting to see who took part.
So, let's begin.
I will not refer to the various kinds of official documents related to The Avengers and TNA, and will mainly refer to such printed sources as Spotlight and the newspaper The Stage.
1. Derek Ware
Stuntman and actor
This was mentioned in different kinds of sources, including book "Hollywood Stunt Performers, 1910s–1970s", that Derek participated in The Avengers. Perhaps he performed only the function of a stuntman in the series, and further research in this area will lead to a positive result. We will see.
2. Norman Florence
Actor, sometimes participated as an extra in British films and TV.
This was mentioned in the newspaper The Stage (in 1997), that Norman participated in The Avengers.
3. Charlie Stewart
