Neil North
Neil North (18 October 19327 March 2007) was a British actor, best known for his role in the 1948 film adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play ''The Winslow Boy''. North appeared in four other films released between 1948 and 1951, but did not make acting a full-time career. After a hiatus of over 40 years however, he did return to the screen with three further credits towards the end of his life, including a role in the 1999 remake of ''The Winslow Boy''.
==Early life==
North was born in Quetta, British India, the youngest son of an officer in the Indian army. After a peripatetic childhood spent at various schools in India and Britain, North became a pupil at the King's School in Canterbury, Kent. He developed an interest in drama, and in 1947 was cast in the role of the Boy King, Richard II, in a production of Laurie Lee's play ''Peasant's Priest'' which was staged as part of that year's Canterbury Festival. His performance impressed director Bernard Miles, and when Miles learned that film director Anthony Asquith was searching for a public school boy with acting experience for the title role in a screen version of ''The Winslow Boy'', he put North's name forward.〔(''The Independent'' obituary ), 19-03-2007.

North landed the role of Ronnie Winslow in ''The Winslow Boy'', a drama based on a cause célèbre of 1908 when George Archer-Shee, a 13-year-old schoolboy, was expelled from Osborne Naval College after being accused of stealing and cashing a postal order for five shillings (25p) that had been sent to a fellow pupil. The film was a high-profile production starring some of the most respected names in British film and theatre, including Robert Donat, Cedric Hardwicke and Margaret Leighton. The film proved to be a box-office success and North's performance was widely admired, notably in a famous scene with Donat in which the latter (cast as a barrister) harries and bullies the boy in order to satisfy himself of the boy's innocence before agreeing to accept the brief.
North went on to appear in minor roles in the films ''Mr. Perrin and Mr. Traill'' (1948), ''Britannia Mews'' (1949), ''Traveller's Joy'' (1949) and ''Tom Brown's Schooldays'' (1951).〔(Neil North @ IMDb.com ) ''Retrieved 18-07-2010''〕
