George Cole Author

After more than seven decades in the acting profession, George Cole, OBE remains one of Britain's most recognisable faces. His first walk-on part at the age of 14 in a stage musical, and his subsequent coaching by well loved actor Alastair Sim, led to more than 60 stage plays, 60 film titles and close to 300 episodes of more than 80 television shows. George still does the occasional radio play and television episode but spends most of his time these days reading, doing The Times crossword and watching horse-racing on television. He lives in a secluded part of Oxfordshire along with his wife, actress Penny Morrell, and their Newfoundland dog, Lincoln. They have two children together and three grandchildren.
