Walter Carr (né Walter Anderson) (26 December 1925 – 30 May 1998) was a Scottish actor and comedian.[2][3][4]

He played the servant, Jock Carmichael, in the Edinburgh Gateway Company's Edinburgh International Festival production of Robert McLellan's historical comedy The Flouers o Edinburgh in August 1957, and was in the cast of its production of All for Mary by Kay Bannerman and Harold Brooke in February 1958. He played one of the Vices in Tyrone Guthrie's Edinburgh Festival production of Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaites at the Church of Scotland's Assembly Hall in August 1959,[5] and Sandy the scout in the 1960 Festival production of Sydney Goodsir Smith's The Wallace.[6] In 1963, he gave a memorable comedy performance as the imagined invalid in the Gateway's production of The Hypochondriack, Victor Carin's translation into Scots of Molière's Le malade imaginaire.[7]

Possibly his best known role was as the mate Dougie in the TV series The Vital Spark (1965–67).[8][9]

He played Shooey in Lex MacLean's TV series.[10] Other television roles included Davy McNeil in The Dark Island (1962), James Pigg in Mr. John Jorrocks (1966), and Advocate Fife in Weir of Hermiston (1973).

He had a minor part as the school teacher in the cult film The Wicker Man (1973), and played a jeweller in the comedy The Girl in the Picture (1985).[11][12]
