I first saw Dudley Sutton in Joan Littlewood's production of The Hostage at Wyndham's Theatre in 1960. The copy of the script I have shows him as a Russian Sailor, but I have an idea he may have moved up to playing Rio Rita, a homosexual navvy, by the time I saw it! I also remember him making an impression playing the lead in the premiere of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr Sloane in 1964.
Like all of Joan's actors, he was a great talent and went on to become a national treasure in his film and TV roles.
Bravo, Dudley!

Sad news. I remember him playing Tinker in the tv series Lovejoy. A great character. RIP.

He was so distinct an actor, a memorable presence whether on TV or film. I bet he was good on stage.
