Some Famous People called Clive Dunn
Clive Dunn
Clive Robert Benjamin Dunn (9 January 1920 – 6 November 2012) was an English actor, comedian, artist, author, and singer. He is best known for his role as the elderly Lance Corporal Jones in the hugely popular BBC sitcom Dad's Army, which ran for 9 series and 80 episodes between 1968 and 1977.
Beginning in the 1930s his acting career was interrupted by the Second World War, where he served as a trooper in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars. In 1941 the regiment was forced to surrender after it was overrun and Dunn was held as a POW in Austria for the next four years.
After the war, Dunn resumed his acting career in repertory theatre. He made his first television appearance in 1951 as the man in the pub in Surprise Attack, a short film commissioned by the Ministry of Health. Dunn appeared in both series of The Tony Hancock Show and made many appearances with Tony Hancock, Michael Bentine, Dora Bryan and Dick Emery, among others, before winning the role of Jones in Dad's Army in 1968.
After Dad's Army ended, Dunn capitalised on his skill in playing elderly character roles by playing the lead character Charlie Quick, in the slapstick children's TV series Grandad, from 1979 to 1984.
Dunn died in Portugal, where he had settled in the region of Algarve, on 6 November 2012 as a result of complications from an operation that had taken place earlier that week.
