Shane Briant RIP (1946-2021)

[kusumkangguru]

The London-born actor Shane Briant has died at the age of 74.

He'll be best recognised by those on this forum for his performance in the Series 2 episode of The Sweeney called 'Chalk & Cheese', where he plays posh-boy modern-day highwayman Giles Nunn, paired up with working-class counterpart Tommy Garret (played by Paul Jones). In this they tour the Home Counties wearing colourful woollen balaclavas while holding up and robbing wealthy car drivers, before Tommy has a change of conscience.

I mostly know him from his Hammer stuff, like Captain Kronos and Monster From Hell.

Did he move to Australia or something? I thought he did because he started popping up in loads of odd Aussie stuff. Horrors like Cassandra.

RIP Shane.

Rest In Peace.
