Thanks Stonfan, I couldn't get a grab of him that was clear enough. If you watch the film, it's obvious it's him, though.
From The Harrowgate Herald's "Wednesday Gossip," 25 September 1946:
"I had a chat with Guy Standeven the other day. he became associated with the White Rose Players in February, 1944, and left last May to join the West Riding Theatre. Now he is to join a different company - the Army - and his many friends at Harrowgate will wish him every success. It is to his credit that he is a Yorkshireman, for he was born in Scarborough, though he only remained there a few months."
Here's a nice ittle photo from The Stage, 06 September 1988:

Great photo Dave and News story, cheers. I've said it before but of all the extras he had the most interesting career. Eclectic to say the least. Theatre, film, TV, voice overs, training films. He did it all. Clearly a professional actor who did a lot of extra work. Seemingly the Piglet Files was his last credited speaking part and then tons of extra work. He fascinates me for some reason. I've spoke to some his co-stars, assistant directors etc and everyone says he was a delightful chap.

While looking through the British newspapers, I found a lot of references to his stage appearances, starting in 1945, when he was just 17. I think of all our familiar extras, he's the one that was a true actor. Just odd he didn't do more; he definitely had a presence and knew how to act. But he seems to have been happy, and I am always delighted to see him on screen.
