Terry-Thomas

Thomas Terry Hoar-Stevens was a distinctive English comic actor, known as Terry-Thomas. His only Disney role was voicing Sir Hiss in the 1973 Disney animated film, Robin Hood. He was also the inspiration model for Samuel T. Philander in The Legend of Tarzan and was considered for the role of George Banks in Mary Poppins before David Tomlinson was chosen. He was also considered for both the roles of Barnaby in Babes in Toyland and Peter Thorndyke in The Love Bug.
Terry-Thomas was born in Finchley, North London and fascinated with performance at a young age. After having performed in stage productions in London, he soon made a transition to films and made his uncredited film debut in the 1933 film, The Private Life of Henry VIII. He was famous for his portrayal of disreputable members of the upper classes, especially cads, toffs, and bounders, with the trademark gap in his front teeth, cigarette holder, smoking jacket, and catch-phrases such as "What an absolute shower!", "Good show!", "You dirty rotter!", and "Hard cheese!".
His film credits include Once in a Million, This'll Make You Whistle, A Date with a Dream, Private's Progress, The Green Man, The Naked Truth, I'm All Right Jack, Tom Thumb, School of Scoundrels, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Mouse on the Moon, How to Murder Your Wife, Strange Bedfellows, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, The Daydreamer, Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, and The Abominable Dr. Phibes.
In 1971, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease which began to interfere with his career and was forced to retire from acting in 1983. By the time he died in 1990, Terry-Thomas was living poverty and a benefit had raised enough money for him to live the remainder of his days at the Busbridge Hall nursing home in Godalming, Surrey.
