Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand:
Colin Tapley (7. Mai 1907 – 1. Dezember 1995) war ein britischer Schauspieler. Geboren in Neuseeland, diente er in der Royal Air Force und nahm an einer Expedition in die Antarktis teil, bevor er einen Talentwettbewerb von Paramount Pictures gewann und nach Hollywood zog. Er wirkte in mehreren Filmen mit, bevor er während des Zweiten Weltkriegs als Fluglotse bei der Royal Canadian Air Force nach Großbritannien zurückkehrte. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Neuseeland kehrte er erneut nach Großbritannien zurück, um seine Schauspielkarriere wieder aufzunehmen. Seine bekannteste Rolle ist die des William Glanville in „Die Dammbrecher“, doch in seinen späteren Jahren war er auf die Rolle des Polizeiinspektors festgelegt, die er in mehreren Filmen und Fernsehserien verkörperte, bevor er sich in Gloucestershire zur Ruhe setzte.
