Sid James

The Big Job, one of Sid's best, IMHO. His hair makes me laugh in this clip

Now you can see why that loose button caused all the trouble in Ice Cold In Alex.

Think of a good old British film and 9 times out of 10 Sid James is in it somewhare. Usually biggish parts too. A little bit more than your Sam Kydd, Micheal Ripper, Patrick Jorden or Fred Griffiths role. The strange thing about Sid James is no matter what part he plays, Carry on film or not, in what country or any time in history his character is invariably named Sid. Is there anyother actor in the history of cinama who has played so many different roles with the same forename?.

I always look forward to an appearance by Sid James - a Jewish South African who before his film career worked as a boxer and hairdresser(?). He unselfishly taught Tony Hancock screen technique when the lad himself moved into television. Just been reading the diaries of Kenneth Williams, who disliked both Sid and Tony and is scathing about their work. Strange chap, KW.
