MINI BIO:

Round-faced and pushy-looking, Terence Alexander started a regular film career in the 1950s, usually appearing in light roles -- as smooth, upper-class charmers, beguiling rogues or amiable oafs. He was a natural for a part in The League of Gentlemen -- and it was probably his best film role.

Terence Alexander Facts
Educated at Ratcliffe College, Leicestershire, and Norwood College, Harrogate, and started acting in the theatre while quite young, age 16.

In later years, a condition of the retina made him blind in one eye and threatened the sight in the other.

At 18 he joined the Army and was badly wounded after his armored car was hit in an enemy attack. His leg and foot was severely damaged and one eardrum was injured leaving him with a permanent "whistle" in his ear. As late as the mid-1970s, he developed a limp and subsequently had surgery to remove the shrapnel from his leg. He left the Army at the end of the war with a 50 per cent disability pension.
