Moore Marriott (September 14, 1885 in West Drayton, Middlesex [1] –- December 11, 1949 in Bognor Regis, West Sussex [2]) was a British character actor. Rather like Clive Dunn and Wilfrid Brambell later, he became typecast as playing old men when he was still relatively young. He had a special set of artificial teeth which he would put in to play his 'old man' characters. He had no teeth in real life and took four different sets of false teeth with him in order to achieve variety in his characters.
Although he made a huge number of film appearances since 1908, today he is probably best known as old "Harbottle" in a number of comedy films he made with Will Hay and Graham Moffatt, including Oh, Mr Porter! and Ask a Policeman
His other film appearances included Millions Like Us (1943) and Green for Danger (1946).
