Default Philip Latham....

I know that a few people already think that Philip Latham dies a while back (he's even referred to as 'the late Philip Latham' on a cpl of websites!) but I assure you he's still alive and well.

What I would like though is a bit of info about his background?

The IMDB doesn't really give much away. Is he married? (Who to?) Anyone know what he's done since he retired or where he's living now? I heard that he was settled in The Cotswolds area but not sure that's right...

It just seems strange that there's a lack of info on an actor like him

Great actor. Unforgettable as Klove in Dracula Prince of Darkness.

He must be getting on for 90 now, I reckon.

If you know any more details about him then you can add them to the IMDb. That's how the IMDb works, we all add what we know

When I googled "late Philip Latham", the only website that popped up was this one.

Out of interest, how can you assure us he is alive and well but not know where he is?

All the sites list him as being born in 1929. Surely not? That would make him just 36 when he played Klove.

He was terrific as Willly Izard in "The Troubleshooters".

It's nice to know he's still alive and somewhere in the world.

I doubt if you could recognise him from this.....

The Pallisers



And then there's this one in Wikipedia.

Not an excellent one to recognise him by due to the costume.

Can anyone else come up with a good one?

Although he's retired & no longer on Spotlight I did manage to find out who his last agent was. He (the agent) is still in contact with Philip, telling me he's sure Philip wouldn't mind signing a picture for me, but unsurprisingly can't give out his home address.

Default Philip Latham

He is or was a very keen stamp collector,and round about the time the Pallisers were on television in 1974 he opened a stamp exhibition in London.
