JOHN PATRICK BRESLIN * 16.03.1929 in Glasgow + 11.07.2009 in London
(Stage and TV Actor, Dialect Advisor, Pianist, Radio and Voice Actor,
Globetrotter and Translator)
Im very sorry to announce that the actor, and to me a close friend, JOHN BRESLIN
died on 11th July 2009, after a short but awful battle against a illness.
I get this sad news from his family from Glasgow.
He will be very much missed by his many friends, especially in Germany
where we had a wounderful time together, with some unforgettable trips
all around Bavaria.
John was so surprisely talented in many of his uncounting Interests.
As an actor he was very much underestimated and he loved and enjoyed
working for BBC TV. John had so many storys to tell of his years in movie and TV buissness. He had a lot of fun playing CAPTAIN MUNRO in DR.WHO, its so pity that the most of his work at TV is not recorded and fanished or lost forever.
he liked autographrequests and was always blessed to hear from people worldwide that they enjoy and remembering his work.
John was a Intelligent man with such a unbelivable behavour...
He was always very "Down to Earth" and to honest,
His "Oh my, im only a simple Actor, nothing more" stays in my mind forever.
I can`t remember a mad word from him, everyone who meet him liked him
and was the opinion " Thats a fine Fellow", John had Charisma like Dorian Gray....
He was a real British Gentleman, may God bless you John, thanks for all the time
we shared together, thanks for all the memories........R.I.P. my friend.....

According to his imdb entry he dubbed Steve Reeves' voice in some of his
Italian sword & sandal films. What an interesting career he had. R.I.P. Mr Breslin.
