About Terry Sue-Patt

Lived 1964 – 2015 (aged 50–51). Terry Sue-Patt was a British actor, film actor, stage actor and television actor.

Terence Anthony Sue-Patt (19 September 1964 – circa May 2015) was a British actor, best known for playing Benny Green in the BBC series Grange Hill (1978–1982).

Early life Sue-Patt was born in Islington, London, one of the six children of Alston, of Chinese and Jamaican descent, and May (née Stewart) Sue-Patt, of Jamaican and Scottish descent. He attended Sir William Collins Comprehensive School, and the Anna Scher Theatre School. His character was the first pupil seen on screen in the first episode. "I basically played myself in Grange Hill", he later recalled. "There weren't many black actors about on TV at that time. I had a great time, getting time off school to play football. It was a bit of a dream come true, really." Scotland Yard confirmed that officers had forced entry into a flat in Walthamstow after concerns were raised about the welfare of the occupant; however, the death was not treated as suspicious. It was reported that Sue-Patt may have died up to a month before his body was discovered.
