Sid James Info...
Sid James was born Solomon Joel Cohen, on 8 May 1913, to Jewish parents, in South Africa, later changing his name to Sidney Joel Cohen, and then Sidney James.
Sid James – was the famous ‘cockney’ Jack the Lad of the “Carry On” movie series with his legendary trademark ‘naughty’ laugh. He epitomised a London ‘wide-boy’ and exists in British comedy as Super-Star. But did you know Sid James was in fact a South African and served in the South African Armed Forces during World War Two? Not many know this as off-screen Sid was a very private man, and when not in his ‘cockney wide-boy’ character, his South African accent would find its voice.

"I suppose it was when I was in the Army that I came across Popeye characters and stored away in my mind their mannerisms, although when I came to play Popeye I didn't fashion the role on anyone in particular." Bernard Bresslaw, talking about his preparation for portraying the dim-witted Popeye in The Army Game. My first stage job was a man of seventy, with a walrus moustache. This was great till the night the moustache fell into the leading lady's soup. Unfortunately she spooned it up and chewed it. After that I was in four West End plays, playing serious parts in three of them, including the good-hearted but bullying seaman in The Good Sailor. Different roles called for different accents. On television I was a Belgian in a story about the life of Conrad, later a Spanish detective sergeant in a 17-century Restoration comedy."'' Bernard Bresslaw, on his early acting career "At RADA, I had to learn ballet dancing. ... Imagine me pirouetting!!" Bernard Bresslaw, on acting school
