Tony Tanner (27 July 1932 – 8 September 2020) was a British stage, film and television actor and a Tony-nominated theatre director and choreographer.
He spent five years in northern repertory companies, playing everything from Saint Peter to the front end of a cow in a British pantomime.
Intimate revues in West End of London brought Tanner some notoriety, including an appearance in a sketch by then-unknown Harold Pinter.
He made numerous appearances in plays and variety shows on British television, including a stint as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, opposite Benny Hill's Bottom.
All of this culminated in the role of Littlechap in Stop the World – I Want to Get Off in London's West End, taking over for author Anthony Newley.
