Biography

Harold Goodwin (October 22, 1917 – June 3, 2004 ) was an English actor. Primarily a character actor, he trained at RADA and started in repertory in Liverpool. By 1949, he appeared on the West End stage. Goodwin never lost his Barnsley accent, and tended to specialize in playing working-class men, such as cabbies, stewards, or non-commissioned officers.
