Paul Anthony "Tony" Wright (10 December 1925 – 6 June 1986) was an English film actor.[1] The son of actor Hugh E. Wright, he was a Rank Organisation contract player for some years.[2][3]
In October 1956, John Davis, managing director of Rank, announced him as one of the actors under contract to Rank that Davis thought would become an international star.[4]
He married actress Janet Munro in 1957, though the couple were divorced in 1959.[5] He played the role of London-based private detective Slim Callaghan in several French films.
