Philip John Guard (born 29 November 1928) is an English stage actor who occasionally appeared in film and television.[1]

Life and career

[edit]

Philip John Guard was born in Rochford, Essex on 29 November 1928.

Guard has appeared occasionally in film and television, but has been more prolific on stage.[2][3]

In 1956, he married the actress Charlotte Mitchell; they separated in 1968. Their sons are the actors Christopher Guard and Dominic Guard, and daughter Candy Guard, a writer and animator.[4]

Guard appeared, unwittingly, along with Mark Dignam and John Bryning, on the fade-out of The Beatles' song "I Am the Walrus", on which can be heard a 1967 BBC radio broadcast of King Lear, with Guard playing "Edgar".[5]
