Philip Gilbert (March 29, 1931 – January 6, 2004) was a Canadian actor.[1]

Background[edit]

Gilbert was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and educated at Vancouver College. He was a player with the Rank Organisation, appearing in many films during the 1950s and 1960s.[2]

TV work[edit]

Despite his many film roles he was perhaps best known for his role as TIM in the original version of The Tomorrow People from 1973 to 1979. Gilbert returned to play TIM in 2001 for the audio plays produced by Big Finish and continued the role until his death in 2004, starting with The New Gods up to and including The Power of Fear.[3]

He had a broad stage career, starring in such productions as Divorce Me, Darling! in the West End, as well as appearing many times at the Prince Regent Theatre, Farnborough, where he was Head of Drama.[4]

He was represented by Nicholas Young's theatrical agency.
