I think Henri Szeps and as i dont have one at the moment , so back to you sandman55.

Thank goodness  !!!     I was beginning to think most of our players had left the game.  I never would have got that one. 

Your right Terriwa Henri Szeps from the comedy series "Mother and Son" I take it you don't have a pic Terriwa so perhaps someone else who may be watching would like to have a go and post a pic.

Henri Szeps OAM, (born 2 October 1943, Lausanne, Switzerland) alternatively Henry Szeps, is an Australian character actor of theatre and television. He has also featured in films and worked in voice roles, and has worked in productions in the United Kingdom.

Early life

Szeps was born in Lausanne, Switzerland. Due to the German invasion of Poland, his parents fled to France. His father left the family to join the French Resistance, and his mother and three-year-old sister made their way to a refugee camp in Lausanne, where Henri was born. He spent a lot of time with foster families, and later at a French orphanage, before coming to Australia at the age of eight with his mother and sister.

Career

Szeps studied acting at Ensemble Theatre during weekends, under the direction of Hayes Gordon, while gaining science and electrical engineering degrees at Sydney University. In 1963, while sitting for the B.Sc. in maths and physics during the day he was appearing every night at the Ensemble Theatre in his first play there, called The Physicists, which ran for six months.

Szeps is probably best known for his role as selfish dentist Robert Beare in the classic Australian television comedy series Mother and Son (1984 to 1994), with Garry McDonald, Ruth Cracknell and Judy Morris. Another prominent role was in Palace of Dreams for which he received a Penguin Award. He played the Doctor in the world première of David Williamson's play, Travelling North, and was asked to repeat the performance in the 1987 film, with Leo McKern & Graham Kennedy.

He appeared in 1981 TV movie A Step in the Right Direction.

Szeps won the Penguin Award for best actor for ABC's 10 part series Palace of Dreams.

He has performed in five one-man shows, produced by the Ensemble Theatre, the last three self-penned: The Double Bass (1990), Sky (1992) (written for him by John Misto, I'm Not a Dentist (1997), Why Kids (2003) and Wish I'd Said That (2010).

He has written a book on acting, All in Good Timing (1996), which is used by drama schools.

I used to watch Mother and Son, but don't remember this guy.  

 Have seen him in lots of other things though.

 Henri was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, brought up in Paris, and migrated to Australia at the age of 8. He gained degrees in science and electrical engineering at the University of Sydney while studying acting at the Ensemble Theatre. He had a successful theatre and TV career for four years in Australia before going to the UK in 1971.

We remember him well because we enjoyed the series so much that we watched ALL the reruns.

It seems as though we are the only ones playing here Sheba. I will post another pic to see if anyone is interested.

I hope we're not the only ones here Sandy.  I have no idea who this guy is.

Don't the leaves and trees on his T shirt give a clue? He is a bit younger here

His mother found him in the garden under a cabbage in Greece

Glad to see you're still here Jack.   A young Placido Domingo ?      

Looks like this is wrong.  

Come on people.  Some-one must know him.  Please keep the game alive.  

No he is an Australian Greek and he is on the TV I'm not sure if he is born here but he sounds like he grew up here. Check my previous 2 posts about him.

I think Costa Georgiadis

OK terriwa has left it open for some one to post a pic any takers.

Ok.  I don't want this thread to close, so try this one.  Should be pretty easy.

Cheers.

OK I think I have her Svetlana Savitskaya. Where would we be without Mr Google.

G'day sandman55. That's her. Who do you have for us?

Svetlana Yevgenyevna Savitskaya is a retired Soviet aviator and cosmonaut who flew aboard Soyuz T-7 in 1982, becoming the second woman in space. On her 1984 mission she became the first woman to fly to space twice, and the first woman to perform a spacewalk. She set several FAI world records as a pilot.

Thanks ballast2 it was the medals that did it and the help of Google. Now who is this lady and she is not Australian.

She looks like a British Actress, but I can't get a name yet.

Nein, mein Freund you have the wrong nationality and career

Looks like Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor .

You've got her Cupie over to you for a pic.

Angela Dorothea Merkel (/mrkl, mrkl/, German: [aela dootea mkl];^[a]née Kasner; born 17 July 1954) is a German politician serving as the chancellor of Germany since 2005. She served as the leader of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from 2000 to 2018.^[10] Merkel has been widely described as the de facto leader of the European Union,^[11] the most powerful woman in the world,^[12] and by some commentators as the "leader of the free world".^[13]

Merkel was born in Hamburg in then-West Germany and moved to East Germany as an infant when her father, a Lutheran clergyman, received a pastorate in Perleberg. She obtained a doctorate in quantum chemistry in 1986 and worked as a research scientist until 1989. Merkel entered politics in the wake of the Revolutions of 1989, and briefly served as a deputy spokesperson for the first democratically elected East German Government headed by Lothar de Maizière in 1990. Following German reunification in 1990, Merkel was elected to the Bundestag for the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and has been reelected ever since. As the protégée of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Merkel was appointed as the Federal Minister for Women and Youth in Kohl's government in 1991, and became the Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in 1994. After her party lost the federal election in 1998, Merkel was elected Secretary-General of the CDU before becoming the party's first female leader two years later in the aftermath of a donations scandal that toppled Wolfgang Schäuble.

Following the 2005 federal election, Merkel was appointed Germany's first female chancellor at the head of a grand coalition consisting of the CDU, its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In the 2009 federal election the CDU obtained the largest share of the vote, and Merkel was able to form a coalition government with the Free Democratic Party (FDP).^[14] At the 2013 federal election, Merkel's CDU won a landslide victory with 41.5% of the vote and formed a second grand coalition with the SPD, after the FDP lost all of its representation in the Bundestag.^[15] After the 2017 federal election the CDU was again the largest party; she was reelected to her fourth term on 14 March 2018.^[16]

In 2007, Merkel was President of the European Council and played a central role in the negotiation of the Treaty of Lisbon and the Berlin Declaration. One of Merkel's consistent priorities has been to strengthen transatlantic economic relations. Merkel played a crucial role in managing the financial crisis at the European and international level, and she has been referred to as "the decider". In domestic policy, health care reform, problems concerning future energy development and more recently her government's approach to the ongoing migrant crisis have been major issues during her chancellorship.^[17] She has served as senior G7 leader since 2014, and previously from 2011 to 2012. In 2014 she became the longest-serving incumbent head of government in the European Union. In October 2018, Merkel announced that she would not seek reelection as leader of the CDU at the party convention in December 2018 and as chancellor in 2021.^[18]

Well, after a bit/some thought I came up with this one that I am sure no one will guess.

I scanned it from a book out of my library ... sorry about the quality & the size  ... have to work on that!

I'll post a few clues if I am wrong.

Looks a bit like a young Mark Latham
