Tony Tanner (27 July 1932 – 8 September 2020) was a British stage, film and television actor and a Tony-nominated theatre director and choreographer. In the early part of his career, he made numerous appearances in plays and variety shows on British television. He most notably took over the role of Littlechap in Stop the World - I Want to Get Off in London's West End; taking over from the shows star and author Anthony Newley in 1962.
His excursions into film were rare, but he did make an impression in 1966 in Warner Brothers' film version of Stop the World - I Want to Get Off when Newley declined the role. The film was a disappointment both critically and financially and thereafter Tanner focussed mostly on the theatre.
