'''Samuel John Kydd''' (15 February 1915 – 26 March 1982) was a British-Irish actor.<ref name=bfi>{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9f123863|title=Sam Kydd}}</ref> His best-known roles were in two major British television series of the 1960s, as the smuggler Orlando O'Connor in ''[[Crane (TV series)|Crane]]'' and its sequel ''[[Orlando (TV series)|Orlando]]''. He also played a recurring character in ''[[Coronation Street]]''.<ref name=screenonline/><ref name=belfasttelegraph/> Kydd's first film was ''[[The Captive Heart]]'' (1946), in which he played a [[POW]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mqyuDQAAQBAJ&q=sam+kydd+the+captive+heart+1949&pg=PA429|title=The Encyclopedia of British Film: Fourth Edition|first1=Brian|last1=McFarlane|first2=Anthony|last2=Slide|date=29 August 2018|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780719091391}}</ref> He made over 290 films, more than any other British actor, including 119 between 1946 and 1952.

==Early life and career==
An army officer's son, Kydd was born on 15 February 1915 in [[Belfast]], Ireland,<ref>Northern Ireland was only created in 1921</ref> and moved to [[London]] as a child. He was educated at [[Dunstable Grammar School|Dunstable School]] in [[Dunstable]], [[Bedfordshire]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmovie.com/artist/sam-kydd-p39699|title=Sam Kydd - Biography, Movie Highlights and Photos - AllMovie|website=AllMovie}}</ref> During the mid-1930s Kydd was an [[MC]] for the [[Oscar Rabin Band]] and one of his "Hot Shots". He would warm up audiences with jokes and impressions (Maurice Chevalier was a favourite) and even some tap dance routines then introduce the other singers and attractions on the bill. During the late 1930s he had joined the [[Territorial Army (United Kingdom)|Territorial Army]] serving with the [[Queen Victoria's Rifles]] and when war broke out he was called up for active service.

Early in the [[Second World War]], he went to [[France]] with the [[British Expeditionary Force (World War II)|British Expeditionary Force]] but was quickly captured, spending the rest of the war in [[Stalag XX-A]], a camp near [[Toruń|Thorn]] in German-occupied western [[Poland]].<ref>[http://www.wwiimemories.com/journals/rcjournalsAA1006.jpg Letter and photo in camp magazine 1942] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929012415/http://www.wwiimemories.com/journals/rcjournalsAA1006.jpg |date=29 September 2007 }}</ref> Kydd later wrote of his experiences as a POW in his autobiographical book ''For You the War Is Over''.<ref>''For You The War Is Over'' by Sam Kydd - Futura, London, 1974. {{ISBN|0-85974-005-6}}</ref>

During his internment in the German prisoner-of-war camp, where he remained for the next five years, he took command of the camp's theatrical activities - devising and staging plays.<ref name=belfasttelegraph>{{cite web|url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/day-of-movies-devoted-to-sam-kydd-northern-ireland-veteran-of-240-films-36595614.html|title=Day of movies devoted to Sam Kydd - Northern Ireland veteran of 240 films|via=www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk}}</ref> He felt so strongly about his work there that, when he was offered repatriation after three years, he turned it down to continue with his theatrical work. In recognition of his valuable services during these years he was awarded a pair of drama masks, made by the [[Red Cross]] from barbed wire.

==Career==
Returning to Britain after the war, Kydd applied for the film ''[[The Captive Heart]]'', which was about life in a prison camp, and as this was an area where he had much experience, he got a part as an advisor cum actor. He went on to appear in more than 290 films and 1,000 TV plays and series, including such films as ''[[The Blue Lamp]]'', ''[[Father Brown (film)|Father Brown]]'', ''[[The 39 Steps (1959 film)|The 39 Steps]]'' and ''[[I'm All Right Jack]]''.<ref name=bfi/> He often played the part of a strong and resilient [[cockney]]. He is best remembered as a character actor in films such as ''[[Chance of a Lifetime (1950 film)|Chance of a Lifetime]]'', ''[[The Cruel Sea (1953 film)|The Cruel Sea]]'', ''[[Sink the Bismarck!]]'', ''[[Yangtse Incident (1957 film)|The Yangtse Incident]]'', ''[[Reach for the Sky]]'', ''[[The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959 film)|The Hound of the Baskervilles]]'', ''[[Too Many Crooks]]'', ''[[Smokescreen (film)|Smokescreen]]'', ''[[Island of Terror]]'', ''[[Too Late the Hero (film)|Too Late the Hero]]'', ''[[Eye of the Needle (film)|Eye of the Needle]]'' and ''[[Steptoe and Son Ride Again]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmovie.com/artist/sam-kydd-p39699/filmography|title=Sam Kydd - Movies and Filmography - AllMovie|website=AllMovie}}</ref> He also appeared in the big-screen versions of ''[[Dad's Army]]'' and ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]].''

In 1963, Kydd appeared as the lovable smuggler Orlando O'Connor in ''[[Crane (TV series)|Crane]]'' starring [[Patrick Allen]] as a Briton who moved to [[Morocco]] to run a cafe and had an aversion to smuggling.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1525811/Patrick-Allen.html|title=Patrick Allen|date=7 August 2006|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b8cd6deb5|title=The Price of Friendship (1963)}}</ref> The programme ran for 39 episodes and was watched each week by over 16 million viewers. Sam's character was so popular that when ''Crane'' finished he was given his own programme, ''[[Orlando (television)|Orlando]]'', a children's adventure series which ran for 126 episodes.<ref name=screenonline>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/976102/index.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Orlando (1965-68)|website=www.screenonline.org.uk}}</ref>
