Biography for Barry Morse

Born in London's East End, Barry's career began when he won a full scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the age of 15. Upon graduation he followed with successful stage runs in London's West End and in theatrical productions throughout the United Kingdom, and appeared on the BBC's earliest live television broadcasts in the late 1930s. Barry relocated to Canada in the early 1950s, working in live theatre, on CBC Radio, and in the premiere CBC TV broadcasts. While a staple many of the anthology and dramatic series of the 1950s and 1960s, he is probably best known in North America for his TV roles as 'Lt. Gerard' in "The Fugitive" and in "Space: 1999" as 'Prof. Bergman.' A journalist recently determined that he has played more than 3,000+ roles on the stage, screen, and radio in a career that has spanned over six decades.

Born in 1918 in London, Barry Morse quickly intended for comedy. Following successful art courses, he expands his acting game. His striking figure in the fugitive, did not prevent him from making many other roles in films and telefilms.

Barry Morse was a British actor known for his role in the American television series "Melon hat and leather boots" (The Avengers in English), where he embodied the character of Inspector Stefan Schneider. He was also known for his role as prosecuting in the television series "The investigations of the commissioner Morse" (The Fugitive in English). Morse was born on June 10, 1918 in London, England, and began his acting career at the theater before turning to television and cinema. He has played in many productions during his long career, including films like "Le Béré" (The Brain) and "The Four Filles of Dr. March" (Little Women). Morse died on February 2, 2008 in Toronto, Canada, at the age of 89.
