Nuoruus ja ura

Thornton syntyi Dulwichissä, Lontoossa vuonna 1921. Hän työskenteli ensin vakuutusasiamiehenä, mutta opiskeli samaan aikaan näyttelemistä London School of Dramatic Artissa. Hän teki ensimmäisen roolinsa ammattinäyttelijänä Terence Rattiganin näytelmässä French Without Tears. Sen jälkeen hän siirtyi työskentelemään Donald Wolfitin johtamissa teattereissa, jossa hän tapasi tulevan vaimonsa. Toisen maailmansodan aikana Thornton palveli neljä vuotta Britannian kuninkaallisissa ilmavoimissa.

Sodan jälkeen Thornton näytteli repertoaari- ja West End-teattereissa, kunnes vuonna 1960 hän aloitti televisiouransa komediasarjassa It's a Square World. 1960-luvulla hän esiintyi televisiossa Tony Hancockin ja Eric Sykesin kaltaisten komedianäyttelijöiden kanssa. Thornton jatkoi työskentelyä myös teatterissa, esiintyen muun muassa Ihaan roolissa Phoenix-teatterin Nalle Puh-näytelmässä.[1]

Vuosina 1972–1985 Thornton esiintyi Captain Peacockin roolissa komediasarjassa Are You Being Served?. Roolista tuli Thorntonin tunnetuin ja hän esiintyi sarjan kaikilla tuotantokausilla. 1990-luvulla hän palasi Peacockin rooliin sarjan spin-offissa Grace & Favour.[2]

Vuonna 1997 Thornton aloitti Herbert "Truly" Trueloven roolissa komediasarjassa Vielä virtaa, korvaten sarjassa Brian Wilden näyttelemän Foggyn. Thornton näytteli sarjassa sen loppuun saakka. Vuonna 2012 hän esiintyi vielä elokuvassa Run for Your Wife, minkä jälkeen hän jäi eläkkeelle.[1]
