![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Born: 1947 in England Biography:Falstaffian British character actor "Richard Griffiths" has been popping up in films since 1980. Griffiths played Sir Tom in "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1981), Captain Billings in "Greystoke" (1982) and Phipps in "King Ralph" (1981). An accomplished dialectician, Griffiths has essayed a wide variety of ethnic types: in Naked Gun 2 1/2 (1992), he outdid himself in his dual role as the German-accented Dr. Mannheimer and the Georgia-cracker Earl Hacker. British TV fans know Richard Griffiths best as Henry Crabbe in the weekly sitcom Pie and the Sky (1993-95), not to mention his appearances on such earlier series as "Bird of Prey" (1984), "Nobody's Perfect" (1980-82), Ffizz (1987-89) and "A Kind of Living" (1988-90). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
