Arthur White (born 1933) is an English stage and screen actor, best known for his occasional role as police archivist Ernie Trigg in the crime drama A Touch of Frost, alongside his real-life younger brother[2] David Jason. His parents were Arthur R White and Olwen Jones. He also appeared briefly along with his brother in two episodes of The Darling Buds of May.

In 1978 White appeared as part of an underworld gang, playing the role of Freddy in an episode of the hard-hitting 1970s British police drama The Professionals, the episode entitled When the Heat Cools Off.[3]

In 2008, he worked with Jason again on the comic fantasy The Colour of Magic, where he starred as a character called "Rerpf". He has also made appearances on popular television series such as Crossroads, The Professionals, London's Burning, As Time Goes By, Heartbeat and Family Affairs.
