Brian Osborne, (26 March 1940 -- July 8 2021), is a British actor best known for playing small roles in the ''Film/CarryOnSeries''.

His interest in acting started when he was still at school. During this time, he toured theatre company for children, playing the Pied Piper. In 1966, he appeared on TV for the first time in an episode of ''Softly, Softly''. Following this, he toured with the Creator/RoyalShakespeareCompany across Europe and America.

In 1971, he was cast as coachman Pearce in ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs''. Osborne left in Series 2 the following year, the same year he had a small role in ''Film/CarryOnMatron''. After ''Matron'', Osborne made small appearances in the next five ''Film/CarryOn'' films, ending his run with ''Film/CarryOnEngland'' in 1976. In this period, he also appeared in seven episodes of ''Series/CarryOnLaughing''.

From 1978 to 1980, he played Sam Lawes in ''Series/TheSandbaggers''. Osborne did six episodes, and after that seemed to only do guest appearances in series such as ''Series/CoronationStreet'', ''Series/{{Minder}}'', and ''Series/{{Sorry}}''.

In 2020, he moved to Gran Canaria to be around his family. He died the following year at the age of 81.
