Haven't seen anyone else mention Glynn Edwards, British TV actor (although of course he was in Zulu and played a policeman in a couple of Confessions films).
(Sorry about the paywall, only online obit I can find.)

Misread that and wondered how many other Munchkins could've possibly detoured into adult films.

Dull story - One time (1990 or thereabouts) we had our works' Christmas do in Stringfellows (me neither), it was alright but at one point I decided to go up to the DJ box and request some Stone Roses (I know, I know), dude said "yeah, OK" and about 10-15 mins later he played "Fools Gold". It wasn't until I looked again I realised it was the man himself.
So, why would he be running the DJ decks during a fairly nondescript corporate booking, being fairly low-key himself? I guess he enjoyed the work.
There you go, finished now, wake up..

He lives on, in the fact that being compared to Stringfellows is an obvious claim of misogyyny.
