Changed his professional name from Thomas Terry after repeatedly being asked if he was related to stage legend Ellen Terry Cousin of actor Richard Briers's father, making him Richard's second cousin. The producer of "Two's Company" (1975) tried to get him to play a recurring character part in the series, but Thomas's suffering from Parkinson's disease made it impossible for him to sign the contract. He was the first choice to play the role of Dr. Ezra Mungo in Call Me Bwana (1963), a part eventually played by Lionel Jeffries. The gap in his upper teeth is so famous that in British medicine there is a Terry-Thomas sign - the gap between the scaphoid and lunate bones (scapho-lunate disassociation) on x-rays. These two bones are in the human wrist. Although mentioned in some German Edgar Wallace books, Terry-Thomas did not appear in The Trygon Factor (1966) as "Thompson", neither in the original English nor in the German version of the film. The role was played by Allan Cuthbertson. The Marvel UK comic book villain Mad Jim Jaspers is based on him. A comic heritage plaque now commemorates his ownership of 11 Queen's Gate Mews, South Kensington, London, SW7. He lived at the West London Mews from 1949 until 1981.
