Warren Mitchell, actor, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the City Lit Institute in London, while playing the saxophone. Warren studied physical chemistry at University College, Oxford, where he met his contemporary, Richard Burton, and together they joined the Royal Air Force in 1944. After the war Warren attended RADA for two years, performing in the evening with London's Unity Theatre, and he soon became established as a versatile professional actor with straight and comedy roles on stage, radio, film and television.
