  Wilfrid Brambell - Biocrawler
Wilfrid Brambell (March 22, 1912 - January 18, 1985) was an Irish film and television actor, born in Dublin, best known for his roles in the British television series Steptoe and Son and The Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night.

Brambell was also a homosexual, at a time when it was very difficult, almost impossible, for public figures to be so.
