[[caption-width-right:350:"A page about me? [[CatchPhrase I say! Jolly good show!]]"]]Actor Terry-Thomas (born Thomas Terry Hoar Stevens) was an English comedian and character actor who became known to a worldwide audience through his many films during the 1950s and '60s. He often portrayed disreputable members of the upper classes, especially cads, toffs and bounders, using his distinctive voice; his costume and props tended to include a bowler, monocle, waistcoat and cigarette holder. He was perhaps most well-known for the large gap between his front teeth.
