About this person
His first appearance with Hay was in the film Dandy Dick (1935), becoming a significant supporting performer in Hay's films from 1936 to 1940, during which time he played a character called "Harbottle" that was based on a character Marriott had been playing since the 1920s when the Harbottle character was first created by Hay for his "The fourth form at St. Michael's" sketches.
