Graham Moffatt

Graham Moffatt (December 6, 1919 – July 2, 1965) was a British character actor and comedian.

Born in London, he is best know for a number of films where he appeared with Will Hay and Moore Marriott and played an insolent, overweight, overgrown-schoolboy type character, loosely reminiscent of Billy Bunter.

Their best-known film is probably Oh, Mr Porter! (1937). Their other films included Ask a Policeman, Where's That Fire? and Old Bones of the River. He made his last film with Moore Marriott in 1943. However, he continued to appear in films, including Back-Room Boy, with Arthur Askey, and Powell and Pressburger's A Canterbury Tale and I Know Where I'm Going!, before semi-retiring from show business to become a publican with his wife Joyce. Together, they ran the Swann Inn at Braybrook (near Market Harborough) followed by The Englishcoombe Inn at Bath. He still made occasional film appearances until his death from a heart attack in 1965. His ashes were scattered at sea.
