Basil David Moss[1] (25 May 1935 – 28 November 2020) was a British character actor, who featured regularly on television in the 1960s and on radio in the 1970s.
Despite leaving St Paul's in 1953, Moss's connections with the school remained strong throughout his life, both through his involvement in the Pauline Meetings and his work for the Old Pauline Club.
In the early 1960s, he had a long-running screen role as Alan Drew in the BBC TV series Compact.
[4] His credited film roles include appearances in One Brief Summer (1970) and Clinic Exclusive (1971).
As he grew older, Moss did less acting in order to concentrate on other interests, although he continued to appear in comic roles,[5] including The Gigolos.
