Kenneth More

Kenneth Gilbert More, CBE (20 September 1914 – 12 July 1982) was an English film and stage actor.

Initially achieving fame in the comedy ''Genevieve'' (1953), he appeared in many roles as a carefree, happy-go-lucky gent. Films from this period include ''Doctor in the House'' (1954), ''Raising a Riot'' (1955), ''The Admirable Crichton'' (1957), ''The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw'' (1958) and ''Next to No Time'' (1958). He also played more serious roles as a leading man, beginning with ''The Deep Blue Sea'' (1955), ''Reach for the Sky'' (1956), ''A Night to Remember'' (1958), ''North West Frontier'' (1959), ''The 39 Steps'' (1959) and ''Sink the Bismarck'' (1960).

Although his career declined in the early 1960s, two of his own favourite films date from this time – ''The Comedy Man'' (1964) and ''The Greengage Summer'' (1961) with Susannah York, "one of the happiest films on which I have ever worked." He also enjoyed a revival in the much-acclaimed TV adaptation of ''The Forsyte Saga'' (1967) and the ''Father Brown'' series (1974). Provided by Wikipedia
