The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Bob Todd was an English comedy actor best known as a regular supporting performer on The Benny Hill Show. His solemn expression and physical comedy made him a useful counterpart to Hill’s characters. He also appeared in sketch shows associated with Spike Milligan, Dick Emery and Marty Feldman.

Born Brian Geoffrey Todd, he served as a Royal Air Force navigator before entering acting. His early television work included Citizen James, and his film credits included Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall and Superman III. Across these roles, he specialized in supporting characters who could help turn an ordinary situation into comic disorder.
