Kenneth J. Warren


Kenneth John Warren was an Australian actor.
Bald and heavily built, Warren emigrated to the UK in the late 1950s, after appearing in the West End with the Australian play Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. He played many character roles on film and TV, often villainous, until his death aged 43. Among his television roles were the Danger Man episode "The Paper Chase"; and as the diabolical film director Z.Z. von Schnerk in The Avengers episode "Epic"; and in The Saint episode "The Fiction Makers". He also appeared in an episode of Steptoe and Son as Harold's supposed older half-brother. He also played in the 1968 West End musical production of the ‘’Canterbury Tales’’, as The Miller. His performance as the Police Commissioner in The Siege of Pinchgut, is notable for his characterisation of a masculine leader who is intelligent, self assured and no-nonsense.
