Brian Roper (actor)
Brian T. Roper 〔“Brian T. Roper” appears in the ''England and Wales'' Birth Index. It appears as such on the passenger manifest for an airline flight. The middle initial “T” appears on the ''Marriage Index'' reference and also appears in his name in his ''Modesto Bee'' advertisement reference, and again in the SSDI entry. All other references use the name without the middle initial.〕(19 August 1929 – 14 May 1994)〔〔〔〔Ragan (1992), 2nd Edition, vol. 2.; no listing in 1st Edition (1976).〕〔Roper is a common surname around this time period in this area of Great Britain, including on the very same ''England and Wales'' register. One should note the typed transcription of his age as “19”, which agrees with the Birth Index, on the airflight manifest reference. Birth date in Holmstrom (1998) was erroneously listed as 9 August 1933, the day with a typographical error and the year based on the age of 14 which appeared in the press at his time of flying over to the United States. The Ragan (1992) birth date is listed in error as 19 August 1933, having picked up the year from the Holmstrom (1998) reference.〕 was a British-American film and television actor, and, in later years, real estate agent.
