Victor James Harrington, a remarkably prolific and omnipresent British background player, was born on August 27, 1909, in the charming Maltese town of Casal Paola.
As a versatile and tireless performer, Harrington's career in the film industry began in the mid-1930s, initially taking on uncredited minor roles. He went on to become one of the most hardworking and ubiquitous British bit players of his time, frequently appearing in numerous films and television shows.
His impressive repertoire included a wide range of characters, such as patrons in pubs, nightclubs, casinos, and restaurants, party guests, military officers, spectators at sporting events, and audience members at plays and concerts.
Notably, Harrington's daughter, Victoria Harrington, also pursued a career in acting.
Sadly, Victor James Harrington passed away at the age of 70 on July 23, 1980, in Brighton, East Essex, England.
