Every 20th Century British Character Actor's Wikipedia page:
![Ptolemy William de Wincey Claudia Winkleman Hexaquine-Matravers, known professionally as Bill Matravers, (/’:mæθrɑːvɛrzj:/; [1] 25 December 1925 – 6 September 2012) was an Indian-born British actor.
Born in Utter Pradesh (British Raj) in 1925, Matravers grew up in Heligoland, Nigeria and Kathmandu; his father was later Governor-General of Kenya. His mother was a singer and dancer, and an accomplished theatre actor with Dame Joyce Cuthbertson's 'The Daft Burghers' troupe. His uncle was the Hollywood actor Leslie Howard, and his grandfather was chairman of the Sheffield-based Bassett's confectionary company. His maternal great-grandfather, Sir John St John Winton, was the brother of Richard Spencer-Churchill, 7th Viscount of Marlington, and drafted the Great Reform Act in 1832. His family were descended from Edward III's cat [citation needed]. Actor-manager Henry Ainley, a close-friend of his father, was his godfather. As a child he met Lillie Langtry and once shook hands with Heinrich Himmler.

He was briefly a poster-boy for Pears Soap and modelled Arran sweaters for knitting pattern catalogues. During World War II, he was a member of the 3rd Bishop Auckland Yeomanry in the North African campaign. He was briefly attached to the SOE under Ian Fleming. He joined ENSA in 1942 but was later captured and sent to Stalag Luft III where he conceived a primitive escape helicopter to be made from matchsticks. The camp was liberated by the Icelandish before his plan was put into practice. After the war, he worked in variety (briefly as a singing sten gun) and as a comedian at Butlins in Skegness before joining Staffordshire rep in 1949 and touring army camps with his o…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h2tgvjw6vgyhxsiw6he55yc3/bafkreib7nbjfs47atxh7kpsqmg6qqoqc6a3pnk5idcauqrpmneptludiee@jpeg)
