​Dari Wikipedia, ensiklopedia gratis.   Lawrence Michael Andrew Goodliffe (1 Oktober 1914 – 20 Maret 1976) adalah seorang aktor Inggris yang terkenal karena memainkan peran ramah tamah seperti dokter, pengacara, dan perwira militer. Dia juga terkadang berperan di bagian kelas pekerja. Goodliffe lahir di Bebington, Cheshire (sekarang Merseyside), putra seorang pendeta, dan menempuh pendidikan di Sekolah St Edmund, Canterbury, dan Keble College, Oxford. Dia memulai karirnya di perbendaharaan teater di Liverpool sebelum pindah ke Royal Shakespeare Company di Stratford upon Avon. Dia bergabung dengan Angkatan Darat Inggris pada awal Perang Dunia II, dan menerima tugas sebagai Letnan Dua di Resimen Kerajaan Warwickshire pada bulan Februari 1940. Dia terluka di kaki dan ditangkap di Pertempuran Dunkirk. Goodliffe secara keliru dicantumkan sebagai korban tewas dalam aksi, dan bahkan berita kematiannya diterbitkan di surat kabar. Dia akan menghabiskan sisa perang sebagai tawanan di Jerman. Selama di penangkaran, dia memproduksi dan berakting (dan dalam beberapa kasus menulis) banyak drama dan sketsa untuk menghibur sesama tahanan. Ini termasuk dua produksi Hamlet karya William Shakespeare, satu di Tittmoning dan yang lainnya di Eichstätt, di mana ia memainkan peran utama. Dia juga memproduseri pementasan pertama Post Mortem karya Noel Coward di Eichstätt. Ada catatan fotografi lengkap dari produksi ini. Setelah perang ia melanjutkan karir akting profesionalnya. Selain tampil di teater, ia bekerja di film dan televisi. Dia muncul di The Wooden Horse pada tahun 1950 dan di film POW lainnya. Filmnya yang paling terkenal adalah A Night to Remember (1958) di mana ia berperan sebagai Thomas Andrews, pembuat RMS Titanic. Serial televisinya yang paling terkenal adalah Sam (1973–75) di mana ia berperan sebagai penambang Yorkshire yang menganggur. Dia juga tampil bersama John Thaw dan James Bolam di serial televisi tahun 1967 Inheritance. Menderita depresi, Goodliffe mengalami gangguan pada tahun 1976 selama periode dia berlatih untuk kebangkitan Equus. Dia bunuh diri beberapa hari kemudian dengan melompat dari tangga darurat rumah sakit, saat menjadi pasien di Rumah Sakit Atkinson Morley di Wimbledon, London.

​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.   Lawrence Michael Andrew Goodliffe (1 October 1914 – 20 March 1976) was an English actor best known for playing suave roles such as doctors, lawyers and army officers. He was also sometimes cast in working class parts. Goodliffe was born in Bebington, Cheshire (now Merseyside), the son of a vicar, and educated at St Edmund's School, Canterbury, and Keble College, Oxford. He started his career in repertory theatre in Liverpool before moving on to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon. He joined the British Army at the beginning of World War II, and received a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in February 1940. He was wounded in the leg and captured at the Battle of Dunkirk. Goodliffe was incorrectly listed as killed in action, and even had his obituary published in a newspaper. He was to spend the rest of the war a prisoner in Germany. Whilst in captivity he produced and acted in (and in some cases wrote) many plays and sketches to entertain fellow prisoners. These included two productions of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, one in Tittmoning and the other in Eichstätt, in which he played the title role. He also produced the first staging of Noel Coward's Post Mortem at Eichstätt. A full photographic record of these productions exists. After the war he resumed his professional acting career. As well as appearing in the theatre he worked in film and television. He appeared in The Wooden Horse in 1950 and in other POW films. His best known film was A Night to Remember (1958) in which he played Thomas Andrews, builder of the RMS Titanic. His best known television series was Sam (1973–75) in which he played an unemployed Yorkshire miner. He also appeared with John Thaw and James Bolam in the 1967 television series Inheritance. Suffering from depression, Goodliffe had a breakdown in 1976 during the period that he was rehearsing for a revival of Equus. He committed suicide a few days later by leaping from a hospital fire escape, whilst a patient at the Atkinson Morley Hospital in Wimbledon, London.
