DON FELLOWS - Never heard the name ? Maybe, maybe not, but if you've seen "The Man Who Cried", "The Omen", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Superman", "The Eye of the Needle", "Patton", to name a few you will certainly have seen him act - and in countless British TV dramas, too: "Morse", "Jeeves & Wooster", "Sherlock Holmes", any number of mystery/spy/crime dramas, playing every possible rank in the US Forces. You may have seen him, too, in West End and Broadway musicals.

Don is one of the band of highly skilled actors who have never made the Absolute Big Time, but who have *never* been out of work: quite an achievement ! He will be 80 this year, and still working ! He taught "Scene Study" classes at the drama school I went to, and it was easy to see why he has had such a long, continuous career: amazing attention to detail, humility and just a thoroughly good and kind man.

He was in the original cast of "South Pacific" on Broadway - then when he came over to England, he stayed... finding work wherever an American accent is required. And he's never stopped. What I like about his acting is that he is always *real* - which is why, when you've seen him, he doesn't necessarily "stand out" - you don't notice the acting, you see the person he is being in the story. To my mind, that's the mark of the best kind of actor. So.... look at the credits, and you will often see the name: DON FELLOWS - excellent character actor and helpful friend to everyone he meets.
