Michael Ripper Michael George Ripper was an English character actor born in Portsmouth , Hampshire . He began his film career in quota quickies in the 1930s and until the late 1950s was virtually unknown; he was seldom credited. He played one of the two murderers in the Olivier film version of Richard III . Ripper became a mainstay in Hammer Film Productions playing supporting character roles: coachmen, peasants, tavern keepers, pirates and sidekicks. Appearing in more of the company's films than any other performer, these included The Camp on Blood Island , The Revenge of Frankenstein , The Mummy , The Brides of Dracula , Captain Clegg , The Scarlet Blade , The Reptile , The Plague of the Zombies and The Mummy's Shroud . Occasionally he was disguised almost beyond recognition, yet his raspy voice remained unmistakable. Some of his parts were little better than glorified bits, but his penultimate role for Hammer Films was a significant supporting part as a landlord in Scars of Dracula in 1970. He is also well remembered for his role as a jockey/horse trainer in The Belles of St Trinian's and the liftman in the next three of the St. Trinian's comedies, and on television for his role as Thomas the chauffeur in the BBC comedy Butterflies and as Burke, one of the two criminals in the youth television series Freewheelers . His other TV roles include Mr Shepherd, Aunt Sally's owner, in Worzel Gummidge , Phunkey in The Pickwick Papers and the Drones Porter in Jeeves and Wooster .Partial filmography Twice Branded – Minor role Prison Breaker – Not So Dusty – Bit Role To Catch a Thief – The Heirloom Mystery Nothing Like Publicity – Pearls Bring Tears – Busman's Holiday – Crook Farewell to Cinderella – Undetermined Role Strange Adventures of Mr. Smith – Undetermined Role Fifty-Shilling Boxer – Father Steps Out – Minor Role Why Pick on Me? – Easy Riches – Cuthbert Paid in Error – Minor Role His Lordship Regrets – You're the Doctor – His Lordship Goes to Press – Luck of the Navy Miracles Do Happen – Morning Comet Reporter Blind Folly – Captain Boycott – Pat Nolan Oliver Twist – Barney The Dark Road – Andy Anderson Noose – Nelson The History of Mr. Polly – Third Store Employee Carrying Packages The Rocking Horse Winner – 2nd Chauffeur The Adventures of PC 49 Investigating the Case of the Guardian Angel – Fingers Your Witness – Samuel 'Sam' Baxter Let's Have a Murder A Case for PC 49 – George Steele Lady Godiva Rides Again – Joe Old Mother Riley's Jungle Treasure – Jake Secret People – Charlie Treasure Hunt – Removal Man Derby Day – 1st Newspaper Reporter Folly to Be Wise – Drill Corporal Alf's Baby – Mike The Story of Gilbert and Sullivan – Louis Appointment in London – Bomb Aimer Blood Orange – Eddie The Intruder – Mechanic Personal Affair – Reporter The Rainbow Jacket – Benny Loder The Belles of St Trinian's – Albert Faning The Sea Shall Not Have Them – Botterhill Tale of Three Women – Simkins The Constant Husband – Left Luggage Attendant Geordie – Reporter Secret Venture – Bill Rymer Richard III – Forrest, 2nd murderer 1984 – Outer Party Orator Yield to the Night – Roy, bar good-timer Reach for the Sky – Warrant Officer West The Green Man – Waiter X the Unknown – Sgt.
