About Rex Rashley
Lived 1894 – 1972 (aged 77). Rex Rashley was a British actor, film actor and television actor.
Rex Rashley (1894–1972) was a British character actor who appeared regularly on The Morecambe & Wise Show often dressed in familiar stars' attire as part of a joke. For instance, he appeared in cowboy hat, spurs and sheriff's star on stage, with Morecambe advising Wise that he was "John Wayne's Son" - the joke being that Rashley was elderly and clearly several years older than Wayne himself.
