Mike Berry (born Michael Hubert Bourne, 24 September 1942, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England [ [http://www.mikeberry.net/biographyr.html Mikeberry.net] ] ) is an English actor and singer, best known for his appearances as Mr Spooner on the British sitcom, "Are You Being Served?".

In the late 1970s he played Mr. Peters, the father of the two children in the TV version of the "Worzel Gummidge" books, along with Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs. His character, Bert Spooner, replaced Trevor Bannister's Mr Lucas in "Are You Being Served?" in 1981, and stayed until the end of the show's run in 1985.

He had three hits in the 1960s in the UK Singles Chart (notably "Tribute To Buddy Holly"). His first singles were produced by Joe Meek. In 1980, he had a chart success in the UK, with "The Sunshine Of Your Smile", a cover version of a romantic song written before the First World War. In 1985, his song "Everyone's A Wally" was included as the b-side to the video game by Mikro-Gen of the same name. His most recent CD was "About Time Two", recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with The Crickets.

His most recent film work was acting in "Julie and the Cadillacs" (1999).
