MINI BIO:

British comic character and television satirist, from the Theatre Workshop. Although his performances seemed rather unvarying, his timing was under-valued and, with the right director, he could be consistently funny. Several of his TV series, too, were considerable personal successes. Married to former actress Carmel Cryan, he died following a fall from a horse while filming The Return of the Musketeers.
