Brian James (actor)

Brian James (born 1918 in Victoria, Australia) is an actor, best remembered for his roles on television.

He began his TV career in the late 1950s as Dr. Geoffrey Thompson in the early medical drama "Emergency". He then played Ian Bennett in "Bellbird", followed by the role of George Tippett in the soap opera "Skyways" - a character he reprised for the ill-fated series "Holiday Island" in 1981.

He is probably best known to international audiences for his part in the cult soap opera "Prisoner" as officer and later prison handyman Stan Dobson. He also appeared as John Worthington in "Neighbours" in the late 1980s.

On film, he played screen father to Meryl Streep in "A Cry in the Dark", the 1988 movie about the Lindy Chamberlain court case.
