Pettingell was born in Liverpool, Lancashire, and educated at Manchester University. During the First World War he served with the King’s Liverpool Regiment.

He appeared in such films as the original version of Gaslight (1940), Kipps (1941 – as Old Kipps), and Becket (1964 – as the Bishop of York).
