Please Rewind Talent Wall

Alex McCrindle

Alex McCrindle was a British actor whose work included acting for film. Born in Glasgow on 3 August 1911, he lived until 1990. McCrindle’s association with film acting gives him a place in British screen history, although there are currently no Please Rewind movies connected to his profile. That means there is not yet a particular performance or film through which to explore his screen presence here. Rather than attach unsupported detail to his career, it is better to begin with the clear outline: a Glasgow-born actor who worked on screen during the twentieth century. For now, McCrindle’s Talent Wall profile stands as a concise introduction to his life and profession. His dates span 1911 to 1990, while his recorded occupations identify him both broadly as an actor and specifically as a film actor. As Please Rewind is built around movies worth returning to, any fuller appreciation of McCrindle belongs with the films and performances themselves when they are represented.
