Bryan Mosley OBE was a British actor, known best as grocer 'Alf Roberts' in the long-running ITV soap opera "Coronation Street".

Early life

Born in Leeds, Yorkshire, he attended Leeds Central High School and Leeds College of Art. He then did national service in the RAF, working in Air Traffic Control, before training as an actor at the Bradford Civic Theatre and Esme Church Northern Theatre School.

Coronation Street

He appeared in "Coronation Street" in 1961 and 1963, then from 1971 onwards. His appearances in the soap opera became less frequent following a serious heart attack in 1991 and he died just weeks after his character was permanently written out of the series in 1999.

Other notable roles

Mosley made his screen debut in "A Kind of Loving" (1962). He also appeared in "Get Carter" (1971) playing local gangster Cliff Brumby. He is famously killed by Jack Carter (Michael Caine) who beats him up and throws him from the roof of the infamous multi storey car park in Gateshead, after discovering Brumby's involvement in his brother's death. He also starred in two stories in the series "Doctor Who" in 1965 and 1966 and made two appearances in "The Avengers".

Fight arranger

He was also a fencer and a stage and film fight arranger. He fenced with Terence Stamp in the film "Far from the Madding Crowd." He was also a founder member of the Society of British Fight Directors and he arranged the "Get Carter" fight with Caine.

Bryan Mosley was sometimes credited as Buddy Windrush.
