John Salew

John Rylett Salew (b.1902,(some sources state 1 January 1897) – 14 September 1961) was an English stage film and TV actor.[1] Salew made the transition from stage to films in 1939, and according to Allmovie,[2] "the manpower shortage during WWII enabled the stout, balding Salew to play larger and more important roles than would have been his lot in other circumstances. He usually played suspicious-looking characters, often Germanic in origin." His screen roles included William Shakespeare in the comic fantasy Time Flies (1944), Grimstone in the Gothic melodrama Uncle Silas (1947), and the librarian in the supernatural thriller Night of the Demon (1957). John Salew was active into the TV era, playing the sort of character parts that John McGiver played in the US[2]

Selected filmography

gollark: No, my issue is that it isn't very good charity.
gollark: I am fine with people using land for community things. I just don't think it makes much sense to randomly rent out land cheaply if you have an issue with local land pricing.
gollark: I don't even know what economic system would actually work at this point but some markety thing seems to be the best available in a lot of domains.
gollark: Convince other people with money to give you land?
