DENNIS CHINNERY - C.V.
Dennis has painted and sketched all his life but only started
taking it seriously
about 25 years ago. Dennis has gained awards for his
paintings and
now takes commissions.
DENNIS CHINNERY - THE ARTIST
For many years Dennis's main love was acting. He trained at
the Royal Academy
of
Dramatic Art after which he went straight into a London
West End role
understudying
Paul Scofield in "Ring Round The Moon".
Subsequently
in "Time Remembered" which
also starred Margaret Rutherford.
Ensconced in these
roles for some five years or more,
Dennis entered repertory eventually spending
two years at "The Old Vic"
where
he played "Macbeth" with Beatrix Lehmann as
"Lady Macbeth".

Dennis played with numerous repertory companies in London's
West End also in films
and
television. The "Dr Who" painting was stimulated by Dennis's
appearances
in
three "Dr Who" stories. His first "Dr Who" role was as Albert C Richardson
in
"The Chase".
Dennis played featured roles in "Genesis of the Daleks"
and "The Twin
Dilemma".
Dennis's film roles have seen him playing
alongside star names including Fred
Astaire.

After the "Old Vic", television came along and Dennis enjoyed
parts, in addition
to "Dr Who",
in "Tony Hancock's Half Hour", "The Prisoner"
(hence the painting of "Portmeirion"),
"The Avengers", "Softly, Softly", "Z
Cars".......
Now though Dennis's time is more devoted to his painting,
based in his idyllic home
in Headley Down overlooking the green fields of East
Hampshire, Southern England.
