Biography

His father worked for Scotland Yard's Special Branch, but Rowland chose to follow a career in acting. Born in Walthamstow on 21 December 1925, Rowland Thomas Bartrop joined the London Stage Academy in 1943, initially gaining recognition for juvenile roles. During the war, he toured with NAAFI and ENSA in French Without Tears, supporting Rex Harrison and Anna Neagle. He performed extensively in theatre across London and the provinces and contributed to Shakespeare recordings, notably Coriolanus starring Richard Burton. In the 1950s, Bartrop transitioned to television, where he became good friends with Edmund Purdom on the series Sword of Freedom (1957). Together, they pursued careers in Europe, mainly in costume films. Notable roles for Bartrop included Horatio Nelson in The Battle of Austerlitz (1960) and a friend of the hero to Steve Reeves in The Son of Spartacus (1962). In Europe, Bartrop, who spoke several languages, shortened his first name to "Roland." When playing a German officer in two Italian films, producers humorously credited him as "Roland von Bartrop." His death at 43, believed by his family to be caused by a heart attack, was largely unreported, despite his dedication to fitness for action roles. At the time, he was living in Switzerland. His widow, actress Colette Bartrop, had appeared with him in Faces in the Dark (1960).
