William Lynn Fry (born 23 December 1947) is a Welsh actor

He first came to film goers attention in "The Boat That Rocked" a 2009 British period comedy about an illegal radio station in the North Sea in the 1960s.

As an actor, Fry had waited patiently for his big break. This had appeard to arrive in the form of 2008 BBC mini series "Little Dorrit". Unfortunately his hard work in front of the camera throwing cabbages at prisoners only reached as far as the cutting room floor. 2010 proved a break through year in his big screen film career. He secured a high profile crowd scene role in action hero blockbuster "Captain America". This is viewed as some of his best work. He said his ultra convincing laughing was down to the scene actually being funny.

As well as his work in film, Fry has contributed to the small screen. Never one to turn down a good days filming (plus the chance to chat and have nibbles) he has featured in a Sainsburys advert and A Pets At Home advert with wife Colleen, a far less serious actor. 2011 brought his most epic small screen performance. The Sun newspaper ran a chariots of fire style 2012 Olympic advert. Fry played a dentist running along a stretch of beach in slow motion. The crew were amazed his acting skills in running slowly meant no requirement for a slow speed camera! A much talked about performance that will no doubt inspire the Olympic athletes.
