Clive Swift, who has died aged 82, believed that unemployment was as natural, and possibly even as necessary, a part of an actor’s life as employment, enabling him to experience, feel and think afresh. He was born in Liverpool, one of four children of Abram Swift, a prosperous furniture retailer, and his wife, Lily (nee Greenman). Clive and his brother, David – who also became an actor – were sent to Clifton college in Bristol.
