Sir Barrington Ganch is an English Stage, Film and Television actor. He was born in Bedfordshire, 3rd August 1923, son of Archibald Ganch and Georgina Ganch (nee Balfour). He married Rebecca Claire James in 1952 but she died in childbirth in 1955. He is estranged from their daughter, Cecilia.

A promising theatre career launched in the early 1950's with Reparatory Theatre in Farnham, Surrey. Ganch went on to play a number of roles throughout the 1950's and this led to a brief film career. In 1964 he signed a contract with Marvelous Films owned and run by two Americans, Clemp Hoss and Ron Fleen.

Two unsuccesful television pilots followed in the late 1960's and he seemed to disappear for a while although in 1972 he did play a villain in the TV series Jason King starring Peter Wyngarde who became a personal friend.

More recently he has appeared as a Tramp in Midsomer Murders and is taking a one-man show to the Edinburgh International Festival in August 2008 where he appears as himself and reflects upon his life and career.
