Timeline
Arthur Basil Radford (25 June 1897 – 20 October 1952) was an English character actor who featured in many British films of the 1930s and 1940s.
Radford was born in Chester, England, on 25 June 1897.
He was a commissioned officer in the South Staffordshire Regiment in the First World War, in 1918 transferring into the Royal Air Force, ending the war as a subaltern when he was demobilised in 1920.
Radford had a crescent-shaped scar on his right cheek from a wound sustained during his time in the trenches.
Depending on the lighting and camera angle it varied from barely perceptible to prominent.
He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and made his first stage appearance in July 1924.
In 1926, he married Shirley Deuchars.

He is probably best remembered for his appearances alongside Naunton Wayne as two cricket-obsessed Englishmen in several films from 1938 to 1949.
Radford first appeared with Naunton Wayne as their characters Charters and Caldicott in Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 thriller The Lady Vanishes.
They were popular enough to reprise their roles in Night Train to Munich, which was again scripted by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat.

Radford's health began seriously to fail in the summer of 1951, forcing him to take a long break from acting.
He died at St George's Hospital, Westminster, London, on 20 October 1952, from liver failure due to cirrhosis of the liver.
