Harry James Fowler, MBE (born 10 December 1926, Lambeth, London) is a British actor in film and TV. He started in juvenile roles, most notably in the first recognised Ealing Comedy Hue and Cry, made in 1947. Fowler later married one of his co-stars in the film, Joan Dowling, who committed suicide in 1954. As an adult, he developed into a familiar cockney character actor, often with a humorous slant. His easily recognizable voice is frequently used for TV commercials.
