Campbell Copelin

Campbell Copelin (15 March 1901 – 3 August 1988) was an English actor, who moved to Australia in the 1920s and worked extensively in film, theatre, radio and television. He had a notable association with J.C. Williamson Ltd and frequently collaborated with F. W. Thring and Frank Harvey. He often played villains.

In the early 1930s he appeared in a number of Australian talking films, mostly as a villain but occasionally as a heroic lead. Filmink called him "a sort of Antipodean George Sanders."

He returned to England and worked for some time in Hollywood. He went back to Australia in the 1950s and appeared in some early television plays.
