- A writer for newspapers and radio, and broadcaster.
- As a dramatic author he wrote under his real name Hugh Ross Williamson. He became an actor only when Jack Hawkins, who was going to star in his TV play 'Bernadette', pulled out at the last minute through illness. The producer of the play, with no time to find a replacement - for the programme was to go out live - cast Williamson in Hawkins' role. This proved so successful that from then on the writer pursued an acting career under the name of Ian Rossiter whilst continuing to write as Hugh Ross Williamson.
