RIP David Lavender.

The actor who played Private Pike ("Don't tell them your name Pike!"), has passed at the age of 77.

rip

btw his name was Ian apparently, not David... (he probably didn't tell people that)

[Alex]

That's annoying, the news report I got said David.

in fact looking on wiki, his first name was actually Arthur, not Ian!

[Alex]

It wouldn't be unusual though for an actor to use a stage name.
