More Information
Did You Know..
David Jason
(Actor)
.. Insp Jack Frost
Born:
February 02, 1940
in
London
Best Known For:
His role as Del-Boy in Only Fools and Horses.
Early-life:
Born David John White in Finchley, north London, on February 2, 1940, the son of a cleaner and a porter. As a child, he blossomed after appearing in a school play, but he followed his father's wishes and became an electrician. He remained a member of an amateur theatre group until a local newspaper critic advised him he had real talent and should turn professional. He signed up for drama school and joined actors' union Equity, only to be told they already had a David White on their books.
Career:
After stints in local theatre, Jason graduated to TV, joining Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones for Do Not Adjust Your Set in 1967. In the early 1970s, he appeared in the films White Cargo and Under Milk Wood and played the lead in TV comedy A Sharp Intake of Breath, before being cast opposite Ronnie Barker in the popular sitcom Open All Hours. He worked with the comedian again in 1975 in Porridge when he played old man Blanco, a performance that prompted producers to invite him to audition for the role of Grandad in Only Fools and Horses in 1981. The show's makers decided to cast him as Del-Boy instead after noticing his obvious chemistry with on-screen brother Nicholas Lyndhurst. It turned him into a household name. In the 1980s, he also provided the voices for animated children's favourites, including Danger Mouse and Count Duckula. Jason's huge success continued in the 1990s with The Darling Buds of May and A Touch of Frost. Even though he retired from the role of Det Insp Jack Frost in 2008, after playing the character for 16 years, he claimed to have no plans to retire himself from acting. His recent work includes The Royal Bodyguard and Still Open All Hours.
Quote:
'I've never 'felt my age', whatever that means. I think there are a lot of people who feel 22 when in fact they're 62, and there are a lot of youngsters who behave as if they were four times their age. It's an attitude of mind, isn't it?'
Trivia:
He was knighted by the Queen in December 2005.

Born:
August 08, 1936
in
Mexborough, South Yorkshire
Best Known For:
Sitcom Duty Free.
Early-life:
Born in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, on August 8, 1936, he was the son of a wholesale provisions merchant who wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. Barron said a sadistic teacher fear forced him to leave school, pushing him into acting. After National Service in the RAF, he joined an amateur dramatics group also attended by Brian Blessed. That led to training at Sheffield Playhouse and his first job with a repertory company in the city, earning £1 a week.
Career:
Barron later moved to London, where he performed in several Dennis Potter plays in the West End. His TV debut came in a 1961 episode of The Avengers. It was the small screen plays Stand Up Nigel Barton, and Vote, Vote, Vote For Nigel Barton, both by Potter, that brought him to people's attention in the mid-1960s. His best-known work is on TV, but he has starred in films including The Land That Time Forgot, At The Earth's Core, Nothing But the Night and Voyage Of The Damned. His biggest success came playing philandering husband David in 1980s sitcom Duty Free. He went on to appear in Close Relations, Take Me Home, Where the Heart Is, NCS Manhunt, Brief Encounters and Being Eileen. He died on November 15, 2017 at the age of 83.
Quote:
On being an actor: 'You take nothing for granted. The best thing about it is being offered another job. It keeps the whole thing alive.'
Trivia:
In 2014, Barron toured with fellow original cast members Gwen Taylor and Neil Stacey in a stage version of Duty Free.
