Reginald Turner

Reginald Turner, usually listed as Reg Turner, is a British actor, extra, and the long-time stand-in/photo double for Michael Caine. In The Muppet Christmas Carol, he received screen credit at the end of the cast list, as "Mr. Caine's Double." He filled in as Ebenezer Scrooge for shots in which the face is never clearly shown, notably during "Scrooge." While mostly shot from the back or showing just the walking legs and feet, Turner's face is briefly if only partially visible. 
Turner's films as Caine's stand-in, initially uncredited only, include Without a Clue (briefly seen with Caine in a pub as well), the TV movie Jekyll and Hyde, Little Voice, Shiner, and Last Orders. In his 1992 memoir, Caine summed up Turner's contributions: "He has perfected my walk and mannerisms so exactly that I get lots of free days when he does the long-shots."Caine, Michael. What's It All About? 1992. p. 
When not standing in for Michael Caine, Turner worked primarily as an extra, including recurring appearances on Doctor Who (usually guards of various species) and Monty Python's Flying Circus, as well as Dad's Army, Z Cars, and Jeeves and Wooster. Films as an extra include 10 Rillington Place (with John Hurt) and The Mirror Crack'd. He occasionally had small speaking (and credited) roles in BBC productions, often as a policeman, on Breakway, the miniseries Law & Order and A Spy at Evening, Life at Stake, and dramatic recreations in the documentary Airey Neave: A Will of Steel.
