Elwyn Brook-Jones
Elwyn Brook-Jones (11 December 1911 – 4 September 1962) was a British theatre, film and television actor.
According to his obituary in The Times, Brook-Jones was born in Sarawak on the island of Borneo; however, other sources place his birth in Caerphilly, Wales. The Times further asserts that he was educated at Jesus College, Oxford; however, the College has no record of his attendance under that name to support this claim.
His public debut was in Australia, aged 11, as a concert pianist; he later made cabaret appearances in the US and the Far East.
Brook-Jones was a repertory actor, first appearing in London in 1943 in Hedda Gabler as Judge Brack, before going on to appear in many productions in the West End, films and television.
In the BBC children's series Garry Halliday, Brook-Jones was the hero's opponent "The Voice". He played Tober in Carol Reed's Odd Man Out (1947). He was also Gladwin in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's The Small Back Room (1949) and the Emir in The Pure Hell of St Trinian's (1960).
