George Silver (actor)


George Silver was an English actor, born in London.
He was an actor, best known for The Meaning of Life, Victor/Victoria and The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.
Because of his considerable body weight, Silver was often cast in parts where the preparation or consumption of food was a central activity, or where physical bulk was a major element of the characterisation. In Stephen Frears' 1971 'spoof-noir' thriller Gumshoe, his role was to play a modern approximation of the 1940s Sidney Greenstreet 'Fat Man' character.
Silver died in June, 1984.
