George Baker
He ran away at the age of 15, getting a job as a clerk. A colleague, on hearing of his ambitions to perform, offered him some curt advice: "If you want to be an actor, what are you doing here?"
George added three years to his age and joined a repertory company in Deal, at a time when every town and city still had its own theatre and a bill that changed weekly.

He appeared on screen for the first time later the same year, in the Stanley Baker vehicle The Intruder
