Michael Ripper Movies
British actor
Michael Ripper labored in relative obscurity until the late 1950s. With the formation of Hammer Studios, Ripper became, in the words of horror-film historian Bill Warren, "almost the Hammer equivalent of Dwight Frye." Cast as cockney coachmen, nervous peasants, cretinous lab assistants, gravediggers and general hangers-on, Ripper enlivened the proceedings of such frightfests as
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958),
Brides of Dracula (1960),
Secret of Blood Island (1965) and
Plague of the Zombies. Michael Ripper was married to actress
Catherine Finn. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
