Welsh character actor, renowned for his robust and endearing on-screen presence, was the proud father of acclaimed actress Glynis Johns, with whom he shared the screen in two notable film collaborations, including the 1944 drama "The Halfway House" and the 1960 release "The Sundowners".
During World War II, he emerged as an unlikely star of British cinema, subsequently transitioning into a prolific career in post-war supporting roles. One of his most beloved and enduring performances was his portrayal of the timid and meek "Bob Cratchit" in the iconic 1951 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol", opposite Alastair Sim's chilling rendition of the miserly "Ebenezer Scrooge".
