We saw him on stage - I'll have to check when I get home but it might have been an Agatha Christie - maybe 10 years ago. He was also in a very nasty episode (or is that redundant?) Of Ruth Rendell Mysteries.

He was a fine Bulldog Drummond in DEADLIER THAN THE MALE (1967) Creon to Christopher Plummer's OEDIPUS ('68)Lord Nelson in EMMA HAMILTON ('68)Claudius in HAMLET (1970) and starred in a better-than-average 1960s spy film, DANGER ROUTE.
