Roy Mitchell Kinnear Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Roy Mitchell Kinnear (8 January 1934 – 20 September 1988) was a British character actor. He was familiar to UK audiences for his appearances in many British television comedy shows, and is also remembered for his film appearances as Veruca Salt's father, Mr. Salt, in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and as Planchet in Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers and its two sequels. It was during the filming of the latter sequel that Kinnear died as a result of a riding accident.
He was asked to be in the Mike+The Mechanics video because the producer (Paul Flattery) and director (Jim Yukich) were huge Beatles fans so they cast Kinnear ("Help," "How I Won The War) and Victor Spinetti ("A Hard Days Night.""Help") not only because they were great actors, but so that they could talk to them about their Beatle experiences. Flattery also loved Jagger's movie "Performance" so they also added Johnny Shannon who played Harry Flowers in that.
