'''Henry James Hayter''' (23 April 1907 – 27 March 1983) was a [[British people|British]] actor of television and film. He is best remembered for his roles as [[Friar Tuck]] in the film ''[[The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men]]'' (1952) and as [[Samuel Pickwick]] in the film ''[[The Pickwick Papers (1952 film)|The Pickwick Papers]]'' (1952), the latter earning him a [[BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role|BAFTA Award for Best British Actor]] nomination.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://awards.bafta.org/keyword-search?keywords=1953|title=BAFTA Awards Search {{!}} BAFTA Awards|website=awards.bafta.org|access-date=2019-04-15}}</ref>

==Early life ==
He was born in [[Lonavala]], India, and brought up in Scotland, attending Dollar Academy. He made his West End debut in the 1936 comedy ''[[The Composite Man]]'' at [[Daly's Theatre]]. His best remembered film roles include [[Friar Tuck]] in the 1952 film ''[[The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men]]'' (he reprised the same role in the 1967 film ''[[A Challenge for Robin Hood]]'') and [[Samuel Pickwick]] in ''[[The Pickwick Papers (1952 film)|The Pickwick Papers]]'' of the same year. His rotund appearance and fruity voice made him a natural choice for such roles.

==Acting career ==
A pupil of [[Dollar Academy]], he became a graduate of the [[Royal Academy of Dramatic Art]]. His film career began in 1936 in ''Sensation'', but was interrupted by [[World War II]], during which he served in the [[Royal Armoured Corps]]. His 1946 television series ''[[Pinwright's Progress]]'', shown on the [[BBC]], is recognised as the first real example of the half-hour [[situation comedy]] format in the history of British television. In the film ''[[Oliver! (film)|Oliver!]]'', he played Mr Jessop, the bookshop owner. He appeared in scenes when Dodger steals a gentleman's wallet outside the bookshop and also when Oliver is in court charged with the robbery.<ref>{{Citation|title=Oliver! (1968) - IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063385/characters/nm0371687|access-date=2019-04-15}}</ref> Hayter was the Ministry doorman in the film ''[[Passport to Pimlico]]'' (1949).

His later career included roles in TV series such as ''[[The Forsyte Saga (1967 TV series)|The Forsyte Saga]]'' (1967) and ''[[The Onedin Line]]''. Hayter also appeared in the long-running BBC department store sitcom ''[[Are You Being Served?]]'' as senior salesperson Mr Tebbs in 1978. He was also the original narrator of the UK television advertisements for [[Mr Kipling]] cakes. In fact, these adverts led to his departure from ''Are You Being Served?''; the cake company paid him a significant bonus to withdraw from the series, as they felt his reputation lent an air of dignity to their advertisements. "Who can blame an actor in his seventies for accepting money for staying at home? I, now 78, would jump at the chance!” wrote [[Frank Thornton]] (Captain Peacock) in a letter to one of Hayter's eight children in 1999.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://afternoontea.mpt.org/tea-time-tidbits/121916/|title=Are You Being Served?'s James Hayter {{!}} Tea Time Tidbits|website=afternoontea.mpt.org|access-date=2019-04-15}}</ref>

He died in Spain in 1983, aged 75.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0371687/bio|title=James Hayter|publisher=IMDb|access-date=2019-04-15}}</ref>
