Biography
Gangling British character actor Graham Crowden seemed born to play over-sanctimonious priests, looney scientists and cadaverous undertakers. Following Shakespearean stage work, Crowden made his film bow in 1961's Why Bother to Knock? He became a favorite of film director
Lindsay Anderson, who showed Crowden to excellent if bizarre advantage in such films as
If (1969), Oh Lucky Man (1973) (in several roles) and Brittania Hospital (1982). Among Graham Crowden's non-
Lindsay Anderson films were
The Ruling Class (1973),
The Little Prince (1974),
Jabberwocky (1981),
For Your Eyes Only (1982) and
The Company of Wolves (1984). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
