Jack May was an English actor who appeared in dozens of classic British films, largely in minor and uncredited roles. Not to be confused with the other Jack May who appeared in the Archers as Nelson Gabriel and who played the butler in Adam Adamant Lives! Since I can’t find a birth date for Jack May the bit-part actor I am using the other Jack May’s birthday for the time being which is 23rd April.
