  • How to research an Actor?

    Hi,

    I am trying to find some information about an actor who appeared in the film "Saturday night and Sunday morning" in 1960.

    I am trying to find where this actor was born and year of birth but unfortunately, I am not having any luck.

    I have googled the actors name but all I can find is other films and TV series that he appeared in. Has anyone got any advice of how I can find any more information?

    Kind regards

    Kelly.

    The IMDb (Internet Movie Database) may have more details. If you put the actor's name in the search box it should give some biographical details. The amount of information varies and there is usually more info for very well known actors but it often has details like where and when they were born

    IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. Find ratings and reviews for the newest movie and TV shows. Get personalized recommendations, and learn where to watch across hundreds of streaming providers.

      Public information about actors may not be accurate and also they may have changed their name when they entered the profession. Being a 1960's film its less likely they did of course. A lot have to change names because somebody in Equity is already registered in their name.

      So I think the first thing is to establish their real name.

        Hi Jackie and Nightowl,

        Thank you for your help, it is truly appreciated.

        I have tried the IMDb but unfortunately, it doesn't give any information concerning where he may have been born and when. :(

        All I have at the moment is the actors name.

        From what I have read about the film, "Saturday night and sunday morning", it was filmed in Nottingham, do you think the Nottingham Archives may be able to help?

        Kind regards

        Kelly.

                Have you tried contacting Equity -they may have details on him. They have a web page which will give you their e-mail depending upon which branch you want.

                                  Hi Val,

                                  I had found the info on IMDb, there is also another website which has some of his acting career on. In one of the films he plays the main characters father and his on screen wife was born 1899, so I think it is likely that Frank would have been a similar age to her.

                                  I will have another google for fan clubs.

                                  Kelly.
