Samuel John Kydd (15 February 1915 – 26 March 1982) was a British actor.[1] He made over 290 films, more than any other British actor[citation needed], including 119 between 1946 and 1952.
His best-known roles were in two major British television series of the 1960s, as the smuggler Orlando O'Connor in Crane and its sequel Orlando. He also played a recurring character in Coronation Street.[2][3] Kydd's first film was The Captive Heart (1946), in which he played a POW.[4]
