Hugh Thornton Walters (2 March 1939 – 13 February 2015) was a British actor.[1][2][3]
During the early 1990s, Hugh Walters appeared regularly on The Russ Abbot Show, and he played a recurring role in the Channel 4 sitcom Chance in a Million. His films include Catch Us If You Can (1965), Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon (1967), Alfie Darling (1975), George and Mildred (1980), Brimstone and Treacle (1982), The Missionary (1982), 1984 (1984), The Innocent Sleep (1995) and Firelight (1997). He also appeared as car salesman Mr. Pendlebury in All Creatures Great and Small.
In 1975, Hugh Walters replaced Terry Scully in the role of Vic Thatcher late in the first series of the BBC series Survivors. Scully had appeared in four episodes, but then suffered a nervous breakdown, leaving the Survivors production team no choice but to recast the role. Walters played Vic in episodes 11 and 13 of the first series.[4] He was also in an episode of On the Buses as the drunken groom.
