Early life
Grant was born in South Norwood, England, a south London suburb. Dorothy, his mother, served as a secretary. He attended Sir Walter St John School in Grayshott before the Second World War and finished his education at Charterhouse School in Godalming following the evacuation. Grant returned to Norwood after the war, and he resigned at the age of 13, when he became a sheet metal factory worker in Croydon. He left the position after a few weeks and then started working on Fleet Street photographing for Reuters.
Grant was immediately attracted to the theatre and performed as a stagehand for the Croydon Empire Theatre until 1953, when he was branded up for national service in the RAOC, earning the rank of corporal. He worked briefly at a hotel in Jersey before being hired as a bouncer and doorman at London's legendary 2i's Coffee Bar, where Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, Tommy Steele, and others got off to a rocky start. Professional wrestler Paul Lincoln, the co-owner of the 2i's bar, suggested and assisted Grant in appearing on television as a wrestler under the names "Count Massimo" and "Count Bruno Alassio of Milan," a good match. This ignited his enthusiasm for acting, and he was hired by film studios as a bit actor, stuntman, and body double.
Acting career
Grant appeared in many films between 1958 and 1963, including A Night to Remember (1958), playing a British commando; and Cleopatra (1963), playing a palace guard. He appeared in television shows such as The Saint, Crackerjack, Dixon of Dock Green, and The Benny Hill Show. On several of Robert Morley's films, he was his double. He invested his money from these ventures in his own entertainment transport company. Grant spent more money to bring shadow groups such as the Shadows to their concerts as the acting roles faded.
