| biography:
| Film actor, born in Finchley, NW Greater London, UK. He began his career as Thomas Terry in music hall and radio before changing his name to Terry Thomas, afterwards adding the hyphen for comic effect. He was the gap-toothed villain in dozens of post-World War 2 comedies, satirizing and eventually personifying the upper-class bounder in such films as I'm All Right Jack (1959), School for Scoundrels (1960), and Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines (1965). |
