| 1 | Peter John Sallis [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (1 February 1921 – 2 June 2017) was an English actor, best known as Clegg from ''Series/LastOfTheSummerWine'' and the voice of Wallace from ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit''. Despite that fact that both of those characters had [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents Yorkshire accents]], Sallis was in fact a Southerner, hailing from Twickenham in Middlesex [[note]] when Creator/NickPark first met him, he initially refused to believe that Sallis's natural accent was indeed his natural accent [[/note]]. He got into acting while serving in the RAF, subsequently becoming a stage actor before moving into television - his first major TV role being the title character in the 1958 [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] series ''Literature/TheDiaryOfSamuelPepys''. He is buried alongside his long-standing ''Summer Wine'' co-star Creator/BillOwen in the West Yorkshire village of Upperthong -- not far from Holmfirth, where that show was filmed. |
