Clive Robert Benjamin Dunn, [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]], (9 January 1920 -- 6 November 2012), was a British actor best known for playing Lance Corporal Jones in ''Series/DadsArmy''.
His acting career began in 1935. It was briefly put on hold due to the inconvenience of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but once it was over he was back to performing in repertory theatre. In 1951, he appeared in ''Surprise Attack'', an educational short for the Ministry of Health to warn about Smallpox.
In 1958, he appeared in ''The Tony Hancock Show'' as a regular cast member and played a variety of different roles in the sketches. He also starred in ''Series/TheArmyGame'''s SpinOff, ''Bootsie and Snudge'', as Old Johnson, one of many "doddering old fool" roles Dunn played in his career. When ''Dad's Army'' was being cast, Creator/JackHaig and Creator/DavidJason were the first choices for Lance Corporal Jones, but luckily for Dunn, he got the part that became his most iconic role.
