His Works

This is the most complete list of Colin Jeavons' works anywhere the internet, yet this is still an incomplete list since reliable resources of his acting career - or any information on him in general - are surprisingly scarce to find and difficult to research. His theatreography is perhaps the most difficult to procure. Nevertheless, slowly and surely, the list has been growing bit by bit. Looking at the quantity and quailty of these many works in television, film and theatre, it is strange that such a clearly versatile actor could be even be "under-rated" at all. His works have been organised by date and seperated into its sections of media. This list will be constantly updating.

This list would not be possible without the kindness and generosity of Tony and AlanR. Special thanks to TV Tome, Memorable TV, IMDb, The Royal National Theatre Archive, The Theatre Museum Archives and more. If there are any incorrections, or anything you can do to assist, for this list, please consult the Diane N. Tran for corrections.

    • Lost and Unknown

    Because of the difficult of obtaining Mr. Jeavons' many credits, I have found a rather large chunk of "unidenitifed and unproven works," so this following excerpt is dedicated to "the unknown..." Often, these works end up in this section because of the missing credits, insufficient lack of sources, and/or lost information. Until the time that they are "proven," hopefully with two realible sources, they will be updated and redirected to their proper sections.

    This list will be constantly updating. If there are any incorrections, or anything you can do to assist, for this list, please consult the Diane N. Tran for corrections.
