Figure 1.--We know very little about this English child actor Anthony Wager. The name is a little surprising as Wagner is not British. We do know that he delivered a fine performance in David Lean's fine screen adaptation of Charles Dicken's Great Expectations. |
We know very little about this English child actor Anthony Wagner. Anthony was born June 24, 1932, in London. We do know that he delivered a fine performance in David Lean's fine screen adaptation of Charles Dicken's "Great Expectations". Anthony was about 13 years old whenthis film was made. As far as we call tell it was his first movie role. He had nany film roles after Great Expectations. In "Fame is the Spur" (1946), Anthony played Hamer as a child. In "Hungary Hill" (1947), Anthony played young Johny. In the "The Guina Pig" (1948), Anthony played Bert. This was an especially importany film which concerned the experiment of giving scholarships to working-class boys. It was billed in America as "The Outsider".
