Brian Murphy (actor)
Brian Trevor John Murphy (born 25 September 1932〔http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl〕) is an English actor. Murphy remains best known as the henpecked husband George Roper in the sitcom ''Man About the House'' and spin-off ''George and Mildred''.
==Acting career==
Murphy was born in Ventnor, Isle of Wight. He was called up to do his national service at RAF Northwood, where he met future ''The Good Life'' actor Richard Briers. On leaving the RAF the two aspiring actors both performed in productions by the Dramatic Society at the Borough Polytechnic Institute, now London South Bank University. Murphy was a member of Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop (alongside Yootha Joyce), and a jobbing actor in the 1960s and early 1970s, combining his theatre work with appearances in television shows such as ''The Avengers'', ''Z-Cars'', ''Callan'' and ''Dixon of Dock Green'', before being cast in the role which would make him a household name.
In ''George and Mildred'', Murphy played the lazy George Roper. His wife, Mildred, was played by Yootha Joyce. Her domineering, social-climbing characteristic was a sharp contrast to George's desire for an easy and quiet life and the pairing was an instant hit. A contributing factor to their immediate chemistry was the fact they had been friends for many years. Aside from their Theatre Workshop years, Murphy also featured in ''Sparrows Can't Sing'' (1963) with Joyce and other Theatre Workshop colleagues. When ''Man About The House'' ended in 1976, a spin-off was created for Murphy and Joyce, entitled ''George and Mildred''. This ran for five series until 1979. Murphy reprised his role in feature films of both sitcoms. Joyce died in 1980.
Murphy has continued to appear regularly on television, most notably as "Alvin Smedley" in ''Last of the Summer Wine'' from 2003 to 2010, and also with memorable roles in ''On Your Way, Riley'' (1985) as Arthur Lucan,〔(''On Your Way, Riley'' at IMDb )〕 ''Lame Ducks'' (as a private investigator); ''The Bill'' (as a drunken tramp dressed as an elf at Christmas); comedy series ''Pond Life'', an animation series, as Len Pond, the father of protagonist Dolly Pond (Sarah Ann Kennedy), ''One Foot in the Grave'' starring Richard Wilson (playing a character called Mr Foskett);,〔('Mr Foskett' ) Retrieved 24/09/07〕 ''Brookside''; and as a shopkeeper called Stan in the pre-school children's TV series ''Wizadora''. In 2010 he appeared in an episode of ''Hustle'' called "The Thieving Mistake". He has more recently made appearances in comedy shows ''The Catherine Tate Show'', ''This is Jinsy'' and ''Benidorm''.
