Frank John Williams, (2 July 1931 -- 26 June 2022), was a British actor best known for playing TheVicar in ''Series/DadsArmy''.
He began acting in repertory theatre, which was where he first met Jimmy Perry and others he would work with again in the future including Colin Bean, Creator/DonaldHewlett, Creator/MichaelKnowles, and Creator/MavisPugh. Williams wanted to move onto television (which was then in its infancy), and he did so, making one of his first on-screen appearances in the first series of ''Series/TheArmyGame''. Williams later returned in the second series, now as a regular, playing Captain T. R. Pocket.
After ''The Army Game'', Williams continued making small appearances on both the big and small screen. It was one of these bit roles (in the finale of ''Series/TheGnomesOfDulwich'') where he was reunited with Jimmy Perry, who wrote both ''Gnomes'' and had co-written the first two series of ''Dad's Army''. Perry would go on to cast Williams as the Reverend Timothy Farthing in ''Dad's''' third series, a role that Williams would stick with for 40 episodes.
