Kenneth Haigh (born 25 March 1931 in Mexborough, Yorkshire) is an English actor.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354078/?ref_=tt_cl_t1〕 He played the central role of Jimmy Porter in the very first production of John Osborne's seminal play ''Look Back in Anger'' in 1956. His performance in a 1958 Broadway theatre production of that play so moved one young woman in the audience that she mounted the stage and slapped him in mid-performance.〔http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/files/1958_0313_cover.jpg〕 For the film version produced that year, he was passed over in favour of Richard Burton. Coincidentally, he went on to portray the explorer and adventurer Richard Francis Burton in the BBC production of ''The Search for the Nile''. He also briefly appeared in the Beatles' 1964 film ''A Hard Day's Night''. Later he portrayed the upstart Joe Lampton, a character created by John Braine in the novel ''Room at the Top'', in the television series ''Man at the Top'' and the spin-off film ''Man at the Top'' (1973). Haigh has also made occasional appearances on American television, and his most recognisable appearance is that of Flight Lieutenant William Terrance Decker on the ''Twilight Zone'' episode "The Last Flight".〔http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/29606/Kenneth-Haigh〕 Haigh also portrayed Pat Casey in Lionel Bart's ''Maggie May''. ==Filmography== * ''Companions in Crime'' (1954) * ''My Teenage Daughter'' (1956) * ''Saint Joan'' (1957) * ''High Flight'' (1957) * ''Cleopatra'' (1963) * ''A Hard Day's Night'' (1964) * ''Weekend at Dunkirk'' (1964) * ''The Deadly Affair'' (1966) * ''A Lovely Way to Die'' (1968) * ''Eagle in a Cage'' (1972) * ''Man at the Top'' (1973) * ''Moll Flanders'' (1975) (TV) * ''Robin and Marian'' (1976) * ''A Walk in the Sun'' (1978) * ''The Bitch'' (1979) * ''Night Train to Murder'' (1983) * ''Wild Geese II'' (1985) * ''A State of Emergency'' (1986) * ''Shuttlecock'' (1991) * ''Mr Blue'' (short film) (2004) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Haigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
