Frederick George Peter Ingle Finch (28 September 191614 January 1977) was an English-Australian actor of theatre, film and radio.

Sheepmates
''Sheepmates'' was a proposed Australian film from director F. W. Thring based on a 1931 novel by William Hatfield. Development Thring bought the rights to Hatfield's novel in mid 1933. He paid a reported £300."Counting the Cash in Australian Films"', ''Everyones'' 12 December 1934 pp. 19–21 Tom Holt, Efftee's manager, stated that: The production of 'Sheepmates' is a decided departure from our policy of adhering to comedy. It is a truly remarkable drama of out back Australia, artistically in a class above anything we have yet attempted. Though it may not prove as popular as a Wallace comedy, we are satisfied to produce it merely as an example of our ability to handle this class of subject. No woman appears in the cast, and for this reason it may be described as 'A Journey's End of the Bush'. The movie was meant to be the first shot at Efftee's new studio at Wattle Path Palais, St Kilda, Melbourne. Shooting Filming began in September 1933. After completing some studio scenes, ...
