Terence Longdon, born Hubert Tuelly Longdon, (14 May 1922 — 23 April 2011), was a British actor best known for his roles in the early films in the Carry On... Series.
During his time as a pilot in World War II, he first acted while stationed at a naval base. He was encouraged by actor Douglas Hurn to pursue it and trained at RADA after the war. Early on in his career, he starred in Garry Halliday as the titular pilot.
Longdon also had a large film career, most notable for his roles in four Carry On films. He had large roles in the first two (Carry On, Sergeant and Carry On Nurse) but didn't return for Carry On Teacher like he had been hoped to. This resulted in him only being cast in a one-scene role for the fourth in the series, Carry On Constable. He was only cast in his final film in the series - Carry On Regardless - after Leslie Phillips pulled out, and his intended role was drastically cut down.
He died from cancer at the age of 88.
