Biography

Robert Urquhart, a talented character actor, was born in 1921 in the picturesque town of Ullapool, located in the heart of Scotland. The stage beckoned early on, and Urquhart made his debut in 1947, marking the beginning of a long and illustrious career. Five years later, he took his first steps into the world of film, commencing a remarkable journey that would span decades.

Throughout his professional life, Urquhart worked consistently, often playing the role of the stalwart and dependable individual. He became particularly well-known for his appearances in various British television series, including the critically acclaimed "Pathfinders" (1972) and the beloved "The Aweful Mr. Goodall" (1974).

Urquhart's filmography was not as extensive as his television work, but he did appear in one notable film, "Master of the Moor: Part 1" (1994),which was released in the 1990s. Unfortunately, this would prove to be his final on-screen appearance, as he passed away in 1995, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances that continue to delight audiences to this day.
