Patrick David Barr (13 February 1908 – 29 August 1985) was a British film and television actor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Patrick Barr )〕 Born in Akola, India, Patrick Barr went from stage to screen with ''The Merry Men of Sherwood'' (1932). He spent the 1930s playing various beneficent authority figures and "reliable friend" types. As a conscientious objector during the Second World War, Barr helped people in the Blitz in London's East End before serving with the Friends Ambulance Unit in Africa. There he met his wife Anne "Jean" Williams, marrying her after ten days; it would have been sooner, but they had to get permission from London. They stayed together ever afterwards. In 1946, he picked up where he left off, and in the early 1950s, he began working in British television, attaining popularity that had undeservedly eluded him while playing supporting parts in such films as ''The Case of the Frightened Lady'' (1940) and ''The Blue Lagoon'' (1949).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Patrick Barr - About This Person - Movies & TV - NYTimes.com )〕 This latter-day fame enabled Barr to insist upon better roles and command a higher salary for his films of the 1950s and 1960s: among the films in which he appeared during this period were ''The Dam Busters'' (1955), ''Room in the House'' ''Randall & Hopkirk Deceased 1968 episode "You can always find a fallguy"'' (1955), ''Saint Joan'' (1957), ''Next to Next Time'' (1960), ''Billy Liar'' (1963), ''The First Great Train Robbery'' (1979) and ''Octopussy'' (1983). He also appeared in ''Doctor Who'' in 1967 as Hobson in the serial entitled ''The Moonbase''; and appeared once in ''The Avengers''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cat. #000442: PATRICK BARR - Classic Entertainment Autographs )〕 In the 1981 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of ''The Lord of the Rings'', Barr voiced the role of Gamling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series) )〕 Patrick Barr died in London in 1985 at the age of 77.
