Lionel Charles Jeffries (10 June 1926 – 19 February 2010) was an English actor, screenwriter and film director. Jeffries built a successful career in British films mainly in comic character roles and as he was prematurely bald he often played characters older than himself, such as the role of father to Caractacus Potts (played by Dick Van Dyke) in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), although Jeffries was actually six months younger than Van Dyke. His acting career reached a peak in the 1960s with leading roles in other films like Two-Way Stretch (1960), The Trials of Oscar Wilde (1960), First Men in the Moon (1964) and Camelot (1967). In the 1970s Jeffries turned to writing and directing children`s films, including the celebrated 1970 version of The Railway Children and The Amazing Mr Blunden. He was a member of the British Catholic Stage Guild. Jeffries had a dislike of television and its production values and shunned the medium for many years. He appeared on television in an acting role for the first time in the 1980 LWT/ITV Dennis Potter drama Cream in My Coffee and followed with a leading role in an episode of Inspector Morse. During location filming for an episode of the 1983 Thames/ITV situation comedy Tom, Dick and Harriet, Jeffries and his co-stars Ian Ogilvy and Bridget Forsyth had to be rescued when a stunt involving a car went wrong.
Jeffries retired from acting in 2001 and following a long illness, died on 19 February 2010 in a nursing home in Poole, Dorset. He had been married to Eileen Mary Walsh from 1951 until his death. Their son and two daughters survive him.
