He was the working class boy from Manchester whose intensity and natural honesty made him British television's most bankable actor. He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. His first starring role on TV was as Sgt John Mann in Redcap (1964). His first great success, though, was as Detective Inspector Regan in The Sweeney (1975). Violent and uncompromising, the series changed the portrayal of police work on British television and was one of the defining dramas of the 1970s.
For Inspector Morse (1987), Thaw was yet again cast as a policeman, but this time a more cultured character than Regan. The leisurely-paced series, set in beautiful Oxfordshire, was Thaw's most popular and long-running project. It established him as British television's most bankable actor, and during the 1990s he had many other starring vehicles. He was also a favourite of film director Richard Attenborough, who cast him in Cry Freedom (1987) and Chaplin (1992).
John Thaw was a quiet, private man. His marriage to actress Sheila Hancock was generally regarded as one of the strongest in showbusiness. When he died at the age of 60, the BBC website was inundated with tributes from the viewing public. His "Inspector Morse" co-star Kevin Whately simply described him as the country's finest screen actor.- Actor

Charles Lacey joined Centron films as a major stockholder in 1949 after serving in WWII and graduating from Kansas State University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. His first duties were as a film sound engineer. He soon began editing films, while continuing to do sound work, and even occasionally acting through the 50s. As the company expanded, he became vice president in charge of production, primarily in charge of coordinating production and post-production of Centron's films. During this period in the 60s, Centron was producing more and more corporate films and sale meetings, in additon to their educational product. The 70s ushered in a period of corporate 'documentaries', especially for John Deere, in which Lacey wrote and directed many short films in addition to his duties coordinating production company-wide. Centron's films remained in that vein, alongwith a renewed emphasis on educational product with the early 70s launching of Centron Educational Films, a distibution arm. Lacey continued with Centron up until its sale to Coronet Films in the mid-1980s. Charles Lacey was born (1922) and raised in Republic County, Kansas. He married Ruthanne Finley in 1947. They had four children; Philip, Jean, Bruce, & Marilyn. He died in February, 2002, in Lawrence, Kansas.- Additional Crew
