Biography

British actor Clive Morton was an employee of the East India Dock Company before deciding to "tread the boards." Morton's old-school-tie personality and men's-club looks served him well in securing numerous film roles as aristocrats or snobbish business executives. Seldom having more than a scene or two in any film (his first was 1932's Fires of Fate, his last was 1974's 11 Harrowhouse), Morton nonetheless made the most of his limited screen time in such quality productions as Scott of the Antarctic (1949), Richard III (1956), Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Young Winston (1971). Perhaps as a reward for his long cinema service, Clive Morton was allowed longer scenes and better lines, in his prolific TV work. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Occupation Actor

Clive Morton (16 March 1904 - 24 September 1975) was an English actor who made many screen appearances, especially on television.

He was Commander Rogue in the first series of the fondly-remembered children's TV series Rogue's Rock in 1974. One of his last roles was as an aged butler in an episode of Upstairs Downstairs.
