Early life
Beck was born in Islington, North London, on February 21, 1929, and he attended Popham Road Primary School. His father was unemployed and his mother was making artificial flowers to bring him a small income.
Beck became an actor after attending Saint Martin's School of Art and serving in the British Army as a national service instructor. He spent several seasons with the Unicorn Players based in Paignton, Devon, prior to his television appearances.
Charlie Bell appeared in an episode of Dr Finlay's Casebook ("Conduct Unbecoming") and Shylock in The Merchant of Venice in 1963, which received rave reviews. In a 1965 episode of Coronation Street as a storyline concerning a train crash, he concentrated on television and was depicted as a detective. He appeared in Gideon's Way (1965), 1970, 1970), and Peter Cushing's Sherlock Holmes (1968).
He was given the role of Private Walker in Dad's Army in 1968, and was originally written by Jimmy Perry for himself. "He had the right amount of cheekiness and charm," Perry said of Beck's casting: "He had the right combination of cheekiness and charm." He gave the role a little bit of oomph." Beck, who was excelling in his role, longs for the challenge of other careers.
He continued to work on television shows including A Family at War (1970) and Romany Jones (1972–73), in which he portrayed Bert Jones as the lead actor. He also produced a pilot for an uncommissioned series called Bunclarke With an E (1973), which was to be based on scripts that had been written for Hancock's Half Hour and in which Arthur Lowe appeared.
