5 | Leslie Samuel Phillips [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever CBE]] (20 April 1924 - 7 November 2022) was an English actor, known for his appearances in the ''Film/DoctorSeries'', ''Film/CarryOn'', ''Film/HarryPotter'' and ''VideoGame/{{Gex}}''. |

7 | He began his career in television and radio at the beginning of TheThirties as a young man with mostly uncredited roles in the early years, and then became well-known in his recurring appearances as Tom Bridger in ''My Wife Jacqueline'' from 1952. Later in the decade, he appeared as minor characters in three of the early ''Carry On'' films: ''Film/CarryOnNurse'', ''Film/CarryOnTeacher'' and ''Film/CarryOnConstable''. He then told producers that he wouldn't be returning for any future films after ''Constable'' (although he did appear later in the poorly received ''Film/CarryOnColumbus'' in 1992) and began appearing in the ''Film/{{Doctor}}'' films as well as becoming a frequent radio personality in the 1960s and '70s in the long-running ''Radio/TheNavyLark'' on Creator/{{BBC}} Radio 2. He also starred in sitcoms such as ''Series/ForeignAffairs1966'' and ''Series/TheCultureVultures''. |

In the 2000s, he provided the voice of the Sorting Hat for the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films, voice acting in ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Philosopher's Stone]]'', ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Chamber of Secrets]]'' and ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows (part 2)]]'', then he became nominated for a UsefulNotes/{{BAFTA}} for the film ''Venus'' and received a CBE on top of his OBE in 2008. When Scoular died in 2011, he remarried to Zara Carr two years later. |
