Huw Ceredig Jones (22 June 1942 – 16 August 2011)[1] was a Welsh actor, best known for portraying Reg Harries in the Welsh-language soap opera Pobol y Cwm for 29 years, from 1974 to 2003.
Huw Ceredig was born in Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, in 1942,[2] the son of Reverend Gerallt Jones, and Elizabeth J. Griffiths,[3][4] a Welsh teacher.
Ceredig was the brother of Welsh politician Alun Ffred Jones, folk singer/politician Dafydd Iwan, and Arthur Morus.
When he was written out in 2003 – Reg Harries met with a car accident – Ceredig was aggrieved that he had not been allowed to stay for another year to complete three full decades in the part.
[2] Ceredig's film credits include the 1992 comedy Rebecca's Daughters and the Dylan Thomas biopic The Edge of Love (2008).
