The Scottish actor Phil McCall was born on 26th November 1925 in Glasgow.
Phil, the son of a Labourer attended St Mungo’s Academy in Glasgow and trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
Although not a household name he appeared in repertory theatre in Scotland and England and made a decent living as an actor, appearing in numerous TV shows over his career including the recurring role of Sgt. Dickson in Charles Endell Esq, Coronation Street, Brookside, Casualty, Rab C Nesbit and Minder.
McCall was a favourite of the stage, particularly in Glasgow. His name is ranked high in the list of old- time showmen and panto stalwarts such as Stanley Baxter, Jack Milroy, Rikki Fulton, Jimmy Logan, Johnnie Beattie and Walter Carr.
McCall and his wife, a television and theatre director, both served as head of Scottish Equity. He was chairman for 17 years
In Monarch of the Glen, McCall played the cantankerous old man who had returned to Glenbogle to reclaim his cottage.
In 1997 he joined Gregor Fisher, Juliet Cadzow and two of yesterday’s posts subjects Blythe Duff and William McIlvanney in a public protest in an effort to save the threatened Wildcat Theatre.
Arguably though Phil has went down in history for the immortal words “Pea and ham soup from a chicken, now that’s clever”.
Sadly Phil’s wife found him hanged at their home in Glasgow on 29TH January 2002, he was about to open in a play, Fermentation, that night at The Briggait Theatre in Glasgow.
Depression is a killer no matter what age you are, Phil was 76.
