Campbell Copelin (1901–1988) 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.[1] He often played villains.
Biography
He served in the army, then emigrated to Australia. He worked on the land, then as a commercial artist before deciding to become an actor.[2]
Criminal History
In 1928 he was fined for using indecent language and resisting arrest.[3]
On the night of 18 March 1931 Copelin took a £1,000 plane out for a joyride in Melbourne and crashed it into Sandridge golf links, causing him to spend several months in hospital.[4] "I had never seen Melbourne by night," he said, "so I decided to have a look. It was wonderful and I'm going to have another look as soon as I can, but next time I'll do it In a safer way."[5]
He was charged with stealing the plane[6] but these charges were later withdrawn on the basis that he had suffered enough through his injuries.[7] Years later he said he was injured in a general plane accident.[8]
In 1933 Copelin was arrested and fined for stealing a police bicycle.[9]
