Fame aside, Richard Warwick is above all a career actor with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. Casting directors have gone to him for drama more than for anything else. Measured end to end, the working life on screen runs about 58 years. If one title has to stand in for the rest, it is 'Romeo and Juliet'. 'Hamlet' is the other credit that tends to come up.

Richard Warwick (born Richard Carey Winter) was an English actor, on screen, stage and television.
He made his film debut in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet" and went on to star in such films as Lindsay Anderson's "If..."; "Nicholas and Alexandra" and "Sebastiane". On television, he played prominent roles in the sitcom "Please Sir!" and "A Fine Romance", opposite Dame Judi Dench.
In his obituary for The Daily Telegraph, director Lindsay Anderson was quoted as remarking, "I never met a young actor like Richard! Without a touch of vanity, completely natural yet always concentrated, he illumines every frame of the film in which he appears."
