- Roy Kinnear, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 1971. One great UK character actor for another after Jim Backus was ruled out as Mr Salt… for being too well known as Mr Magoo. UK author Roald Dahl hated the movie and refused all entreaties to film his sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.
