Fred Emney (12 February 1900 - 25 December 1980) was an English character actor and comedian.
Born in Lancashire [1][2] to a music hall father - Fred Emney (1865-1917; his uncle was the actor Arthur Williams) - Emney junior grew up in London.
He made his film debut in 1935, having previously worked in music hall. He became a familiar figure to screen audiences, usually playing the "posh fat bloke", usually gruff and invariably wearing a monocle. During the 1950s, he had his own television show which featured sketches and deft piano pieces often composed by him. Some were released on record[3]. He had a short spell as straight man to puppets Pinky and Perky.
He died in Bognor Regis, Sussex on Christmas Day 1980 [4].
