Looks a lot like Alderman Schosse. He was arrested on the grounds of the Landstuhl Air force base in 1967 on suspicion of being a spy. However he claimed to haven been sent by the Kanojigoroians, a race of highly advanced Japanese astronauts who had achieved space travel in the 16th century and colonized the outer planets of the solar system after falling foul of the then Shogun.

He was sent to an asylum where he met and befriended Moises Kaufmann, the future Tony winning playwright and director who cast him in several of his later productions and Schosse became a minor celebrity among the thespian set. J. G. Ballard based several of his characters on him after meeting him at a charity poker match. He also appeared on the Fairport Convention album 'Liege and Lief' reading bucolic poetry on the long traditional melody that featured on side 2 of the album.

He later became a reclusive with an interest in electronics and made a fortune from inventing technology sold to Korg, the makers of pioneering synthesizers. He died in a skiing accident on Beaver Mountain, Utah, in 1998.

Important because of his love for fish and chips, and his role as Constable Jones in Mary Poppins.
