Arthur Basil Radford[1] (25 June 1897 – 20 October 1952) was an English character actor who featured in many British films of the 1930s and 1940s.
He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and made his first stage appearance in July 1924. He is probably best remembered for his appearances alongside Naunton Wayne as two cricket-obsessed Englishmen in several films from 1938 to 1949.
