Ken Hutchison Net Worth

Ken Hutchison was a brilliant character actor who was born in Scotland and had a dangerous streak that led him to dark, villainous roles. He was cast by Sam Peckinpah in Straw Dogs (1971) and had a role in The Wrath of God (1972), but his unruly behaviour made studio execs nervous of casting him again. He returned to Britain and continued his career as an anonymous but astounding character actor, appearing in Play for Today films, Shoestring (1979), Target (1977), Jemima Shore Investigates (1983), The Sweeney (1975), and Sweeney 2 (1978). He was also cast as Heathcliff in a BBC serialisation of Wuthering Heights (1978) and had a regular role in Murphy's Mob (1982). His great strength was an incredible ability with accents and comic timing, as well as conveying menace. Hutchison is a treasure for British drama, but his own country has rarely recognised him.
