Richard Davies (born 25 January, 1926) is a British actor, from Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales whose film and TV work covers many years but is probably best known for his performance as the exasperated schoolmaster Mr Price in the LWT popular situation comedy "Please Sir!".

Davies uses a broad Welsh accent for much of his work, but also occasionally uses received pronunciation and other accents. This has led to his playing a diversity of characters, (in addition to several Welsh stereotypes).

Television

Davies played Idris Hopkins in "Coronation Street" between 1974 and 1975, and appeared in several science-fiction series, among them "Robert's Robots", "Out of the Unknown", and a well-received performance as Burton in the 1987 "Doctor Who" story "Delta and the Bannermen".

He played Mr White in the "Fawlty Towers" episode "The Kipper And The Corpse" and also appeared in "Yes Minister", "Wyatt's Watchdogs, May to December", "Whoops Apocalypse", and "One Foot in the Grave."

He appeared in several police television series, with a recurring role as Jim Sloan in "Z Cars" between 1962 and 1965, returning to the series playing different characters in 1968 and in its sequel "Softly, Softly". He also appeared in "Dixon of Dock Green" several times, "The Sweeney", and "Van der Valk".

Films

Films Davies has appeared in include "Under Milk Wood" (1972), the 1971 movie adaptation of "Please Sir!", and "Zulu". In 1951 he made an uncredited appearance in the Ealing Studios comedy "The Lavender Hill Mob".
