Harold Goodwin (October 22, 1917 - June 3, 2004) was a British actor born in Wombwell, Yorkshire, England.
Goodwin trained at RADA and was a stage actor at Liverpool repertory theatre for 3 years. He appeared in numerous British films of the 1950s and 1960s, usually playing 'flat cap' wearing working class characters from Northern England or low ranks in the military.
He had significant parts in the war films "The Dam Busters" (playing Guy Gibson's batman), "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "The Longest Day." He can also be seen in films such as "The Ladykillers", "Sea of Sand" and "The Cruel Sea" (in which he was the ASDIC operator). He also made hundreds of British TV appearances including a notable role in "All Creatures Great and Small and was a 'staple' of the popular 1980s sitcom, That's My Boy." His last major television appearance was playing the part of Joss Shackleton, father to Vera Duckworth, in the top rated ITV1 soap opera, Coronation Street, in the early 1990s.
