Occupation | Actor |
James Gerard Devlin (October 8 1907 — October 17 1991) was a Northern Irish actor. In a career spanning nearly fifty years, he played parts in productions such as Z-Cars, Dad's Army, The New Avengers and Bread. He also guest starred, alongside Leonard Rossiter, in the most famous episode of Steptoe and Son, "The Desperate Hours". The writers of 'Steptoe and Son' - Ray Galton and Alan Simpson - have since revealed that Devlin was second choice to play the part of Albert Steptoe in the series, behind Wilfrid Brambell.
