From the Telegraph

George Sewell, the actor, who died on Sunday aged 82, had one of the best-known faces in Britain, thanks to dozens of appearances on television and in films, notably Get Carter (1971).

With his sandblasted features and shifty, haunted looks, Sewell was as at home playing shady villains as he was in police and thriller roles, which dated from the early 1960s, when he appeared in series such as Z-Cars, to the 1990s comedy The Detectives.

He was still working until recently, making television appearances in Doctors and The Bill (both 2005) and, last year, in Casualty.

Sad to hear this news, although refreshing to see an obit on a East End actor from the 1960's era that doesn't mention any association with the Kray Twins!
