Bill Kerr

Born in South Africa, Bill Kerr gained fame as a child actor in Australian music halls and variety theatres. Billed as Willie Kerr, he made his cinematic bow in 1933's Harmony Row. His long-overdue British stage debut occurred in 1947, after which Kerr kept busy in musical comedies and stand-up comic gigs. He spent several years on the radio and TV endeavors of comedian Tony Hancock, and also worked extensively with actor/writer/director Spike Milligan. He has matured into a useful character actor in both comedy films (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) and more sober endeavors (Year of Living Dangerously). Bill Kerr's TV series stints have included Citizen James (1960) and The New Adventures of Black Beauty (1990). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
