Swanwick's film career began with bit parts in films such as The African Queen (1951), and he became a recognisable face on British TV during the mid-1960s when he featured in a number of series, including The Avengers and Danger Man where he first worked with later Prisoner star and co-creator, Patrick McGoohan.[2][3][4]
According to several biographies [5] Swanwick endured major health problems in the 1960s that resulted in his undergoing undisclosed operations that left him with a short time to live.
Swanwick played the non-singing part of Herr Zeller in the original London stage production of The Sound of Music.[6]
