**London, UK** – Brian Murphy, the acclaimed British actor and comedian best known for his roles in the iconic sitcoms *Man About the House* and *George and Mildred*, passed away peacefully at his home in Kent on Sunday morning at the age of 92.
Murphy, a veteran of stage and screen, began his career in the 1950s with Joan Littlewood’s pioneering Theatre Workshop, performing in Shakespearean productions and the film *Sparrows Can’t Sing*. His television career spanned decades, including memorable appearances in *Holby City*, *The Catherine Tate Show*, *Benidorm*, and *Last of the Summer Wine*. However, he will be most fondly remembered for his comedic portrayal of the henpecked George Roper in *George and Mildred*, a spin-off of *Man About the House*, alongside Yootha Joyce.
His friend and agent, Thomas Bowington, described Murphy as “a joyful and profoundly good-hearted man,” paying tribute to his exceptional talent and warm personality. Murphy is survived by his wife, actress Linda Regan (known for *Hi-de-Hi!*), and two sons. Ms. Regan shared a heartfelt statement: “I was lucky to have in my lifetime found my soulmate. Brian who I will love forever.” The entertainment world mourns the loss of this comedic legend.
