'''Philip Stainton''' (9 April 1908 – 1 August 1961) was an English actor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/10559|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090115062803/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/10559|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-01-15|title=Philip Stainton|publisher=}}</ref> Stainton appeared in several [[Ealing comedies]] and major international movies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/artist/philip-stainton-p67507|title=Philip Stainton - Movies and Filmography - AllMovie|website=AllMovie}}</ref> He specialized in playing friendly or exasperated uniformed [[policemen]], but also appeared in other comic and straight roles in British and Australian productions.

After beginning in [[Repertory theatre|repertory]], in the postwar years he worked steadily in bit and featured parts in theatrical films; twice being directed by [[John Ford]] and once by [[John Huston]] when they shot on European or overseas locations. He first visited Australia as part of a touring company presenting [[Agatha Christie]]’s play '' [[Witness for the Prosecution (play)|Witness for the Prosecution]]''.

Stainton and his actress wife immigrated to Australia in the late 1950s to appear in a series of live television plays as the medium was beginning in that country. From 1957 to 1959 he had the distinction to headline the first Australian [[sitcom]] ''[[Take That (TV series)|Take That]]'' which was broadcast in Melbourne by [[HSV (TV station)|HSV-7]].

He also adapted and produced a version of the [[melodrama|gaslight melodrama]] ''[[East Lynne]]'' which became a hit around the circuit of surviving [[music hall]] venues in the early 1960s and was subsequently revived. During a [[Century|centenary]] performance at impresario George Miller's Bowl Music Hall (basement of [[The Capitol, Melbourne]]), he succumbed to a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] on 1 August 1961.<ref>Philip Stainton, and “East Lynne” entries in AusStage online database www.ausstage.edu.au</ref>
