Cyril Leonard Shaps (13 October 1923 – 1 January 2003) was an English actor.
Born in Highbury, London, Shaps was of Polish ancestry; his father was a tailor. Shaps was a child broadcaster, providing voices for radio commercials from the age of 12. After grammar school and Army service he was trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and then worked for two years as an announcer, producer and scriptwriter for Radio Netherlands. His short stature and round face then led to a steady flow of character roles in film and television in a career spanning nearly 50 years.
Shaps's film appearances included bit parts in Lawrence of Arabia (1962), as the officer's club bartender, To Sir, with Love (1967), as Mr Pinkus, and the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), as Dr Bechmann. In The Madness of King George (1994), he portrayed Dr Pepys, a royal physician obsessed with the colour of the king's stool. In 2002, at the age of 79, Shaps performed his last film roles: as a pew opener in The Importance of Being Earnest, and as concentration camp victim Mr Grun in The Pianist.
