One of his last performances were in ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' and the genie in ''Aladdin'', and was preparing to appear as Grumio in ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' to show critics that he could portray more serious characters, but he died from a heart attack in his dressing room on the night of the performance minutes before he was due to take the stage. It was ironically before his arguably best acting role of his career.

In 1965, he appeared in ''Film/CarryOnCowboy'', and became a recurring actor in the ''Carry On'' film series for at least 10 years. His 6'7 height made him the tallest cast member of many productions he appeared in throughout his career, but it was often put to good use specifically in the ''Carry On''s as either DumbMuscle or LargeAndInCharge characters. Outside of the series, Bresslaw mostly made background or recurring appearances in television series such as ''Series/TheGoodies'', ''Series/{{Sykes}}'', and the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E3TheIceWarriors The Ice Warriors]].

He first became interested in acting after he visited the Hackney Empire in London and was also encouraged to study a course in it by his primary school teacher. He was given a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art by the London Country Council and a Emile Littler Award for being the most talented and promising newcomer. After graduating, he began to appear on radio shows and a popular sitcom called ''The Army Game'', as well as other comedic television work, and often toured army camps and prisons in order to find experience in order to play hardened criminals in theatre shows. When ''The Army Game'' became even bigger than it already had been, Bresslaw appeared in its theatrical release, releasing a single for the movie's theme song, which remained high in the charts for weeks.
