He acted in C.G. Bond's play, "Sweeney Todd," at the Redgrave Theatre in Farnham, Surrey, England with Mary Griffiths and Ian Bartholomew in the cast. David Horlock was director.

Coronation Street (1960) ever comes to an end, he said "As a dwarf [he's actually 5'
4"], you can be anything on radio - even the leading man!"
