Dick Bentley

Charles Walter "Dick" Bentley (14 May 1907 – 27 August 1995) was an Australian-born comedian and actor of radio, stage and screen.

He made his first appearance on ABC Radio in the early 1930s and by 1938 had become a fairly prominent personality, notably on Wilfrid Thomas's show Out of the Bag.

The show only lasted for one series, and the gently self-deprecating humour of Bentley was overshadowed by the charismatic Sellers.

After making his film debut in 1959, Bentley returned to Australia to play a sheep drover in The Sundowners (1960), starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.

In the late 1960s, he was briefly back on BBC radio in the short-run comedy series If You Had a Talking Picture of Me.
