Jack Gwillim Facts
Served as a Commander in the Royal Navy for twenty years before he became an actor.

When cast as dignified figures of authority, Gwillim seems to have merely played himself. Michael Powell described him as "six-feet-two, taciturn, polite, and every inch of him Royal Navy." Powell added that during the filming of Pursuit of the Graf Spee "the other actors had to mind their p's' and and q's'" whenever Gwillim was present. ..."a glance from those grey eyes stiffened their backbones.".

Father, with Peggy Bollard, of Sarah-Jane Gwillim and David Gwillim.
