Pat Roach

Pat Roach, born Francis Patrick Roach in 1937, was an English professional wrestler, martial artist and actor. During an acting career that ran from the 1970s to the 1990s he appeared in many films, usually as a henchman, including the Indiana Jones series. On television he played the West Country bricklayer Brian "Bomber" Busbridge in the 1980s series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans in the production The Last Place on Earth. Alongside his work as a wrestler he trained and practised as a martial artist, and his film and television roles made him familiar to audiences well beyond the wrestling ring. He died in 2004, aged 67.
