Brian George Wilde (13 June 1927 – 20 March 2008) was an English actor best known for his roles in television comedy, most notably Mr Barrowclough in Porridge (1974-1977) and Walter "Foggy" Dewhurst in Last of the Summer Wine (1976-1997). Although tall, his gentle demeanour became his hallmark. His lugubrious world-weary face was a staple of British television for forty years. (Via Wikipedia)
