Another of those actors who did films ‘purely’ to subsidise their more important work on the stage, but such snobbery is by the by when you can boast having forced Nigel Patrick down a tunnel lined with razor blades (Tales from the Crypt), chatted fart about Zen into an open reel tape recorder (The Final Programme), played the father of ‘Humgoo’ Lesley Dunlop (The Monster Club) and joined Vincent Price in an orgy of entry-level debauchery (Masque of the Red Death)? We think that just about balances things out.
FINEST HOUR: Let’s meet the mad-eyed old bugger halfway, and big up his debauched bishop in highly-respected Pinter doings The Servant.
